We are dedicated to supporting individuals with mental ill health, learning disabilities, autism and dementia. We support 1,500 adults and children and have a particular expertise in working with the most complex needs, where individuals face unique challenges to community living.

St. Paul’s Court is a supported living service for adults with onset to early stages of dementia or mild cognitive impairment based in Lisburn, NI.

St Paul’s Court provides care, support and accommodation aimed at ensuring residents are provided with 24-hour support which enables them to live as independently as possible.

The service is looking for someone to come to the service on a regular basis (once or twice a month) to support the residents who enjoy pottering around the garden space and in a greenhouse.

Are you a budding Monty Don or Charlie Dimmock? This could be the opportunity for you as we have a range of tasks that you can get involved in - maintaining beds & borders; planting; weeding and growing plants/vegetables from seed. If you have gardening experience - brilliant however if you just want to get stuck in and help wherever needed, that's fine too.
