What We do
At First Support Services, we believe supported living is about empowering you to live confidently and independently. To us, supported living means receiving personalised support that helps you thrive — tailored around your goals, routines, and choices.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
-
Real Choice & Control
You decide how you want to be supported and what a good day looks like for you. We provide recommendations based on relevant guidelines and policies to ensure your support is safe and effective. - Real Choice & Control
Whether it’s cooking, engaging in outdoor activities, managing a budget,following a doctors advice or organising daily tasks like appointment and shopping — we’re here to support your skills and confidence, at a pace that works for you. -
Being Part of the Community
From volunteering or finding a job, to joining local clubs or simply getting out and about, we help people connect and belong. -
Support That Feels Like Family
Our team is there when you need them — friendly, respectful, and always focused on your wellbeing. Safe, nurturing environments: delivered by competent, compassionate care teams
Who we support
We offer support to adults of all ages who could benefit from a helping hand to live independently. Our services include:
- Those with learning disabilities or autism
- Individuals with physical disabilities or acquired brain injuries

Our Approach and Values
Person‑Centred Support
Every support plan begins with listening—to your dreams, your abilities, your preferences. In partnership with you, and when applicable, your circle of support, we shape services around your life—not the other way around.
Empowerment & Independence
Our goal is to help you grow your confidence and skills so you can exercise choice—about daily routines, budgets, social activities, and future plans.
Inclusion & Community
We believe everyone thrives when actively involved in society. Whether through supported employment, learning opportunities, or simply connecting with neighbours, we encourage full and equal participation.
Quality & Safety
In alignment with SCIE’s guidance, we uphold high-standard of person-centred support, implement proactive safeguarding measures, and engage in conntinous professional training.
