Our aim is for service users to move on to independent living, and for those who won't be able to live independently a more permanent solution will be identified. It is based on Service Users having a license agreement offering the right to remain in their own home and change their support provider if they wish. It can mean living in shared accommodation or living alone with support. Blackpool Council is seeking an experienced Provider to deliver a rehabilitation service in Blackpool; a supported living setting with communal facilities, accommodating up to 5 people with mental health support needs and other complex issues.
