At Southdown, we believe everyone has the right to live their life well and our mission is to provide exceptional community support services across Sussex that enable people to achieve this. We are an organisation with a social purpose and a desire to change lives for the better, employing over 1,000 people each year, supporting more than 9,000 people across our 62 services.
