ABOUT US

Venture-People is an award-winning organisation, formed from our shared ambition to provide high-quality and psychologically informed support.
We provide bespoke, community-based support to individuals with complex needs; including a mental health diagnosis, neurodiversity, or those who may have endured trauma.
The people we support may have spent an extended period in hospital or another setting, therefore we utilise a person-centred approach; empowering individuals to become as independent as possible within their own homes

JOB OPPORTUNITY

We provide support in a recovery focused way, always aiming to practice Trauma Informed support. Our goal is to guide our clients to regain or rebuild their independence and control over their own lives, helping them increase their confidence in themselves to be able to make their own decisions.
