A note from our founder.

My view has always been a simple one. If we look after our staff, they will look after the people we support. Treat people well, keep morale high, and they want to come to work in the morning. The day our team has shapes the day everyone we support has.

That is why we invest in our staff. Real training delivered on time, in-house team backup, a manager who knows your name, a keyworker model that gives you ownership of your work, and a culture that respects the energy this work takes. We want Diverse Services to be a place you can build a career, not just hold a shift.

If that sounds like the way you want to work, we'd love to hear from you.

Sukhbir Singh, Founder & Managing Director

Support work is a profession here.

We believe support work is one of the most skilled jobs there is. So we treat it that way: proper training, real progression, and a team that has your back.

“I've watched brilliant people walk away from support work because nobody treated it like a profession. Nothing really changes for the people we support until that changes.”

In development

Diverse Academy is in development.

We're designing Diverse Academy to change how support work is seen. Our idea is a single home for learning and progression, so that support work is a career people choose, not one they fall into.

What we want it to achieve

  • Make support work a recognised profession, trained and respected like any other skilled career
  • Grow our own leaders, from support worker to senior, team leader and manager
  • Build specialist skills in mental health, trauma-informed support, forensic support and behaviour that challenges
  • Keep great people, through real training and a reason to stay and grow

Who it's for

  • Our own team first
  • Then people new to support work, looking for a way in
  • People from the local communities we support across West London
  • In time, the wider sector: sharing what works with other providers

How it changes the sector

  • It changes how support work is seen: a skilled career, not "just a job"
  • It raises the standard by showing what good training for support workers looks like
  • It means better support, because skilled, confident and well-supported staff help people move forward
  • It means fewer agency strangers: we build and keep our own team, so people know who supports them
“The idea behind Diverse Academy is simple: nobody should join us to stand still. Start as a support worker, and we want you to have the training, the qualifications and the path to lead.”

Looking after you.

You can't support people well if nobody is supporting you. Here's what's in place for our team today:

  • Debriefs after difficult incidents, so nobody carries a hard shift alone
  • Regular one-to-one supervision with your manager
  • Three months' full maternity pay for new mums, plus help with the basics: bottles, nappies and clothes
  • Support from our in-house psychology team and Nutritionist, for staff as well as the people we support
  • Private healthcare
  • Amazon vouchers to say thank you
  • Employee benefits through BrightHR
  • 35 days' holiday for managers, including bank holidays

Everyone belongs here.

Our team reflects the communities we support across West London.

What that means in practice.

Six things you can expect when you join the team.

⚐

A real keyworker model

You hold a small caseload of people you support and know them properly. Weekly sessions, monthly reviews, a relationship that lasts beyond a shift.

⚕

In-house support, every day

Psychology Lead, four Assistant Psychologists, Nutritionist, and an on call duty manager 365 days a year. You're not on your own.

★

Training that's actually delivered

Safeguarding, MCA, mental health awareness, care planning, equality & diversity, with refresher training built into the year, not skipped.

⌂

Properties you can be proud of

Purpose built supported living homes on residential streets. Self contained 1 bed flats. Single quality standard across all eighteen.

✓

Disability Confident Committed

We anticipate and make reasonable adjustments, interview disabled candidates who meet the minimum criteria, and support staff who acquire long term conditions to remain in work.

↗

Progression that's possible

Support worker → senior keyworker → service manager track. Operations and specialist support paths available. Promotion from within is the norm, not the exception.
