Cornerstone is a modern, vibrant organisation which offers real opportunities for development, within an empowering structure.

By joining our team, you will make a real difference in the lives of adults, children and young people with learning disabilities, autism and complex care needs. You’ll receive all the right tools and training you need to help you be the very best you can be, including the opportunity to complete a fully funded SVQ qualification.
Our Values
Caring
We feel and exhibit concern and empathy for others. We often go above and beyond. We encourage and actively seek ways to help people fulfil their potential and live the best life possible.
Person-centred
We offer a truly personalised service. We work closely with the people we support, and their families, to determine priorities and to set goals. We are flexible in our care provision and will discuss what we can do to make the biggest difference to the lives of the people we support.
Professional
We offer a high standard of service that meets all regulatory requirements, delivered by qualified, skilled and trained staff. We audit and review our quality and performance regularly.
Pioneering
We strive to be innovative in our solution-focussed thinking and to continue to lead the way in the care sector. We adopt an operating model that provides a clear framework of responsibilities, resources and support for our teams but which does not rely on restrictive, traditional, command and control methods. We aim to transform social care through a culture of trust, mentoring and empowerment; creating safe conditions for our teams to exercise a degree of autonomy when it comes to delivering high quality care and doing what is absolutely best for the people we support.
