Employers For Childcare's Chair, Michael Stevenson said: "Today marks a real milestone for our organisation as we announce details of this exciting new project. High Rise will be unique in offering a facility that caters for all families including those with children with additional needs. This has been at the core of our mission in developing this project and reflects our ethos as a Social Enterprise and charity."
Councillor Uel Mackin, Mayor of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, added: "High Rise represents an innovative addition to the wide range of leisure facilities already on offer within the Lisburn area and will play an important role in bringing visitors to the city. It is our mission to ensure Lisburn is an attractive place for families to live, work and play and High Rise will make a valuable contribution to this."
Recruitment will commence in the Spring for the positions, with the centre scheduled to open later this year.
