New Walsall support service creating 60 jobs

ECHO Supported Living Services is opening a new service in Walsall to enable people in long-term hospital placements to return to living in their own community.

The six houses, owned by housing association Auckland, are being adapted to meet the needs of each service user, who will have the opportunity to furnish and decorate their homes as they wish.

The project will create up to 60 jobs for local people.

Individuals, who may have a severe learning disability, autism or complex behaviours will be supported to lead as independent a life as possible.
