The amount of training given is fantastic, and the support for personal growth cannot be faulted
We want you to be yourself and bring your own personality and strengths so that you can contribute your ideas, enthusiasm and passion to our vision and goals and, most importantly, improve the lives of the people we support.
It's a small organisation with a close-knit, family feeling to it, which I really like
We're a team. Some might even say a family! And like all families sometimes we disagree but at the end of the day we have each others back. We support and listen to each other and together we change lives everyday.
We have a great team who work well together and support each other
Recruitment is really important to us! It's vital you share the same vision and values as we do because it's our values that shape the way we work together, how we think and behave and what we expect of ourselves and each other.

Respect is our starting point
A colleague that puts themselves in others' shoes, recognises difference but treats people equally. They show kindness, respect diverse views, abilities and contributions so everyone is valued.
We spark imagination
A colleague that constantly exceeds expectations, pushes boundaries and is ambitious for what we can achieve, and then makes it happen.
We learn together to be our best
We are enablers. We create solutions by thinking and acting differently. We break down barriers. We don't see rules as boxing us in, but as the norms that evolve with us on our way to being the best.
We believe in each other
A colleague that draws on the strength of their team and others. They listen to and learn from to be our best the experiences of people to continually improve the way we do things.
At SeeAbility people are at the heart of everything we do. We develop people’s potential, reward great work and support wellbeing, creating a community where people love to work and are supported to do their best.

How we put people first:
- There is fairness, we can all be ourselves and feel we belong.
- Everyone is able to contribute and feels listened to.
- People make their own decisions and are accountable.
- Everyone feels appreciated, safe and able to do their best.
Our revised commitment to equity, diversity and belonging was launched in 2024. A key part is our inclusion network for disability, alongside our established racial awareness and pride networks, which bring together colleagues from across SeeAbility to create a sense of belonging.
Our Leadership Academy gives development activities and mentoring to colleagues with high aspirations.
We now have 34 wellbeing coaches, with specialist coaches for menopause, domestic violence and abuse, men's health, nutrition, fertility, addiction, financial wellbeing, and bereavement.
For us, equity, diversity and belonging are not about ticking a box or following a trend - it's about really believing in the power of inclusion and ensuring every person, regardless of their background or identity, feels valued and respected. It's about creating a genuine sense of belonging for all, where everyone feels like they're truly part of what we're achieving at SeeAbility.
