    Choice Care is one of the UK's leading residential care providers for people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health conditions.

We are also proud to be one of the Best Employers with the Financial Times!
    • 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? Little Heath Court is a bespoke service tailored to the needs of young people with autism and/or complex needs to support them in their transition to adulthood and prepare them for more independent living. Those living at Little Heath Court have access to plenty of communal space for leisure and socialising, including two lounges, a sensory room, a creative activity area, and a large garden with a trampoline and wheelchair-accessible nature trail. Close to the local village of Tilehurst, and the larger town of Reading, the location is ideal for young people looking to build their social networks and access educational and vocational opportunities. Residents enjoy a range of individual and group activities including board games, tapestry-making, reflexology, swimming, cycling, horse riding, country walks and social events like afternoon teas for visiting families. The home has its own transport for local travel and outings further afield.
