It’s International Stress Awareness Week 🎗️

In the work we do, supporting others means being present, patient and compassionate, and that takes energy.

At Positive Futures, we know that to give the best support, our teams need to feel supported too.

That’s why we’re building a workplace where wellbeing, balance and recognition are part of everyday life, not extras for when things quieten down.

That means:

🩺 Private health cash plan & 24/7 GP access
💬 Confidential counselling & wellbeing services
☀️ Generous annual leave, childcare support and family-friendly policies
🤝 Ongoing training, career development and financial wellbeing support

Because when people feel valued, safe and supported, everyone thrives.

Possibility Not Disability

Established in 1995, Positive Futures works across Northern Ireland to achieve dreams and transform lives. We support and empower people and their families to have choice and control. We support people with a learning disability, acquired brain injury and autistic spectrum conditions to be fully included, accepted and valued in their local communities and to live the lives they want.

In 2017/18 we supported over 400 people (children and adults) and their families through a range of services and projects including our Supported Living Services (and peripatetic housing support services) – enabling the person we support to live in the home of their choice, Residential Short Break Service, Shared Lives Service – enabling an adult with a learning disability to be supported by a volunteer family for agreed periods of time, Family Support Services and Autism Outreach Service – delivering practical support to families with a child with a learning disability, Brighter Futures Project – support for families with a child (0-12) with a disability and the Better Together Project – matching ‘hard to reach’ people with a learning disability with volunteer mentors to help the person supported to achieve a goal and reconnect with the community.

We support people with a range of needs, from moderate learning disability to complex needs and challenging behaviours.

We have an extensive track record of successful project work, working with all five NI Health and Social Care Trusts (HSCTs) and a range of funders (e.g. large national funders such as The Big Lottery and Children In Need, Local District Councils and NI Ministries such as the Department for Communities and regional Northern Ireland funders such as Ulster Garden Villages) to deliver innovative, community based support and sustainable outcomes.
