Hft

About Us

Hft is one of the largest and longest-established charities supporting people with learning disabilities. Find out more about our work.

Everyone has a right to the best life possible and that includes people with learning disabilities. But people with learning disabilities face obstacles that are hard to imagine – their challenges can be complex and lifelong. Even so, with the right care, support and encouragement, we believe everyone with a learning disability can find more enjoyment, comfort and satisfaction in their lives.

What it’s like to work for us?

At Hft we’ve been providing person-centred support for people with learning disabilities since the early 1960s. Our commitment goes beyond being just a high quality support provider. We work in partnership with the people we support, their families and carers, and health professionals to develop effective services that will help people live the life they choose.

Our staff are central to this, so we work hard to ensure that they consider themselves partners too, treated fairly and with respect throughout their careers with Hft. The value that we place on our staff is reflected in the Investors in People Silver accreditation we hold – an internationally recognised sign of a great employer and an outstanding place to work.

The type of jobs we recruit for?

We have full time, part time and relief care assistant roles available.
