Work with us
We support people to live the life they want and achieve what matters most to them.
We build teams around people to support them to achieve what matters most to them. Our Supported Living teams ensure that for the people we support, their needs and wants are at the very heart of what they do.

Colleague stories
“You’re always having to listen, think ahead, adapt plans and deal with the unexpected. That gave me confidence.”
”The most rewarding thing is helping Emma live the life that she wants. We do have lots of fun and laughs together.”
Tracey
“Supporting people is amazing. It makes me feel humble, happy and fulfilled to make a difference in someone’s life. Mentally and physically it was hard work at first. There was a lot to learn. “
”But when I went home I could say, ‘today I did something good.’ I didn’t get that feeling working in a bank. The feeling made me want to stay at Thistle.”
