The company supports adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs at a number of residential care homes in Essex.

CEO Paul Hainsworth, has just joined the firm, and hopes to make it a industry leader.

He said: “We intend to build on TLC’s excellent reputation for care to people who need our support and have ambitious plans to develop the business within Essex and beyond.

“In order to achieve this, we need high quality staff across a variety of roles, from support workers to team leaders and managers. We offer highly rewarding career opportunities in the care sector with significant career potential.”
