Our culture
United by purpose, driven by people
At Sanctuary Supported Living, we share one goal – helping people on their pathways for independence. Our teams are at the heart of everything we do, and their passion and commitment drive our success. Whatever your role – whether you’re delivering support directly or working behind the scenes – your work makes a real difference every single day.
An inclusive workplace where you can thrive
We’re proud to have been recognised for our commitment to colleagues, winning the Housing with Care Employer of the Year Award and achieving Investors in People Gold status for the second time. We believe in creating an environment where everyone can grow, develop, and be their authentic self. We’ll support you to build your skills, celebrate your successes, and turn challenges into opportunities.
Together, we can be our best – so that our customers can be their best.

Your growth matters to us. That’s why we provide the tools, training, and support you need to reach your potential and achieve your career goals. Whether you’re building new skills or taking the next step in your journey, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Through our Be Your Best ethos, we’ll help you feel empowered, valued, and ready to make a real difference – while celebrating the individuality you bring to our team.
Inclusion
Be yourself – inclusion for all
Great things happen when we can be ourselves at work. We value every colleague for who they are and the unique contribution they bring to our customers and communities. That’s why we’ve developed our Inclusion for All Strategy and created dedicated staff networks – safe spaces where colleagues can connect, share lived experiences, and shape positive change.
Because when everyone feels included, supported, and empowered, we can all be our best.
