“It’s like watching mini-miracles happen here every day.”
That’s how one of our team describes the difference they make. If you’re organised, practical, and ready to help others live life their way — and you have the leadership skills to guide a dedicated team — we’d love to hear from you.
A home, not just a service
Fryers House in Romsey supports 24 adults with physical disabilities and complex health needs. We provide high-quality, person-centred support with expert nursing care. Our home is made up of two fully wheelchair accessible buildings: the House and the Bungalow. We help everyone here to live their life as they choose. It’s a warm, friendly, and supportive environment where everyone works together to help each person live as independently as possible. Every day brings something different — new challenges, new achievements, and plenty of smiles.
