Who are Thera East Anglia?
We are a subsidiary company of Thera Group and we support people with a learning disability in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.

Our support is varied according to what a person needs from us, which means you could be working:
- in a person’s own home
- in the local community
- at our short breaks (respite) support
- at a person’s workplace or training placement

Tony works as a support worker for Thera East Anglia and came from a very different industry beforehand and reflected on his experience at Thera East Anglia:
I’ve learnt that there is no real blueprint to being a good support worker; you can come from any background, any career, and as long as you have a big heart, are willing to listen and learn, and willing to put the people you support first – then you, too, can become a great support worker.
