Careers
Working or volunteering at Brighter Horizons is more than just a job.
We believe that all adults, irrespective of ability or disability have a right to be part of their community and to live a full and active life. What we do every day makes a difference. It gives people a voice and a space to be themselves. It puts people on the map.
Every day is a new commitment to people who have a learning disability and to their families.
Every day we challenge discrimination and everyone who works here is an agitator for change.

We are committed to increasing the diversity of our Board and making sure that we best reflect the people and families we serve. For this reason, we would particularly welcome applications from people who have a disability.
