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. 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, and all the ups and downs of typical family life, 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 and express themselves through. Where will you work? Heywood Sumner House is an elegant, detached property, located in the village of South Gorley, in the heart of New Forest, with three acres of beautiful lawns and gardens overlooking the surrounding farmland. The large, rural home supports up to 12 male residents of various ages with learning disabilities, mental health conditions and associated complex needs. The home has a lively, active personality. In addition to an organised programme of regular on-site activities, there is an emphasis on community interaction, and the home has two vehicles for educational and recreational trips and activities in the local community. South Gorley is midway between Fordingbridge and Ringwood, and just 15 minutes from Bournemouth town centre. - Learning Academy - Adult Care Worker Level 2 and Lead Adult Care Worker Level 3 qualifications for all staff
