About this employer
As healthcare and education professionals, we had first-hand experience of public services that had failed people, people who needed them most and we believed that we could provide a different, more flexible approach. We wanted to combine our expertise and experiences of the social and economic problems that held people back and find a way to support and empower people to live healthier, better lives whatever their background. Eradicating health inequalities is crucial to our vision. It requires a holistic approach, empowering individuals to become active participants in their health. At ABL health we achieve this by providing access to education, resources, and support that enable people to make informed choices about their health and well-being. We also strive to create a healthy environment that supports positive behaviour change, reducing barriers to accessing healthcare services. Working together we believe we can provide everyone with the opportunity to achieve A Better Life.
