Who are we?
Choice Care is one of the UK’s leading residential care providers for people with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health conditions. With over 30 years’ experience, we’re at the forefront of national best practice, with among the highest CQC ratings of any comparable organisation. We are also proud to be one of the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers for the second year in a row!
Our homes are more than just a place to live; they’re like a second family for everyone we support. Each home is a close-knit community, with its own unique personality, built on trust and the promise of unconditional care. Our colleagues build close bonds with the people they care for, helping to create enduring, positive relationships that build confidence and self-esteem.
In every Choice Care home, there’s a strong emphasis on living life to the full and having fun, with purposeful daily activities based on individual preferences and capabilities. Alongside this, there are regular social events, projects, outings, and holiday breaks which everyone can get involved in.
Where will you work?
We provide flexible, individually-tailored supported living services for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, and associated complex needs. Our support packages range from a few hours a day to help with independent living skills, assist with shopping, cooking, and personal care, to full-time, 24/7 specialist care. We work closely with local authority commissioners, care professionals, and accommodation providers to support people with their own tenancy to live as independently as possible while still being able to rely on the individual care and assistance they need.
