Why Able Minds is a great place to work

Able Minds was founded by Peni, who recognised something simple but powerful: people with disability want the same things he wants. To gain skills, find meaningful work, stay healthy, and live a good life.

That belief shapes everything the organisation does. It is not about “care” in a clinical sense. It is about supporting people to build the life they want.

At Able Minds, you are part of a team that sees people first. Everyone is looking for purpose, connection, and opportunity, regardless of who they are. Working here means helping make that possible every day.
