Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council is inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced organisations to provide a nursing and residential respite service comprising planned short breaks and crisis support to adults with physical and learning disabilities.

The Provider will deliver a flexible and person-centred Service to meet the needs of a diverse client group, ensuring their rights to independence, choice and dignity are promoted and maintained.
