Hi

I'm trying to design an adjustable constant current drive to supply a
current of 250mA.

I've been trying to use OP amps but have been running into problems as
I need to limit the supply voltage to +/- 5v

Any help would be much appreciated.

As Leon mentions, maybe this kind of arrangement ...
