About Us

Cephas Care has been in operation for 30 years, formed by Jane and Chris Hewson who opened a care business supporting one service user – which now supports over 250 service users in Norfolk and Suffolk. Jane and Chris formed the company after meeting a gentleman with enhanced needs and deciding to support and care for him. They took him into their own home and as time went on, they extended their philosophy of providing care for people in their own home across the Counties.

Today, Cephas Care continues to operate in the same manner from which the idea was born. We provide care for people with enhanced needs, in the manner they wish to be cared for – with the input of their family and loved ones.

Our ethos is, was and continues to be: “Your life, your choice, your way”. This encompasses everything we aim to do with the care we deliver – we place the service user at the centre of everything, enabling them to live their lives in the way they wish, whilst reducing risk and maximising their quality of life.

We are still a family-run business. Jane and Chris run the company even today, and they hand-deliver their ethos to staff, service users and their families alike. The company is overseen by a strong board of directors who facilitate the original vision, through driving improvement and the quality delivery of care.

The company continues to go from strength to strength – developing their staff teams to deliver care in line with best practice and enabling their service users to live the most fulfilling lives.

We operate 18 supported living services in Ipswich and surrounding towns, a homecare service (caring for people in their own homes) and larger elderly care homes. We pride ourselves on being a large care provider of choice in East Anglia, providing the best levels of care to those using our services and our staff teams.

We aim to care for people’s loved ones, to provide support and encourage them to achieve their ambitions, dreams and wishes. We care for everyone as we would care for our own – in a dignified way within beautiful accommodation and surroundings. After all - it is their choice, their life, their way. We are just here to facilitate it.

Our Purpose

With a new leadership team commencing from June 2022, it is an exciting time to be part of positive organisational change. Our focus is driving a culture that communicates our commitment to our values and the development of our people through providing a healthy working environment. This includes positive training examples, platforms for knowledge sharing, elevation of employee voice and transparency as we work together to shape our future and continuously improve the excellent care we provide to those we support.

Our people are at the centre of this, and so we remain dedicated to growing our own talent, with a high proportion of all leadership positions being recruited to inhouse.

For those just beginning their careers, we provide induction training for all new starters, delivered by in-house trainers that have also actively worked in care settings. There are several pathways to explore within the care sector, whether you’re looking to progress to a senior role, a specific specialism, or a supportive function such as HR or Administration; we will provide further support and training opportunities as you explore your passions.

Care is an incredibly rewarding sector to work in, we would encourage anyone considering a role in the industry to contact us.
