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, 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?**

Ocknell Park is a large rural property, providing care and support for up to 12 men of various ages with learning disabilities, mental health conditions and associated complex needs.

Ocknell Park has 11 bedrooms in the main home, plus a one-bedroom, self-contained annexe designed for an individual who benefits from a more private environment, while still enjoying access to facilities and activities in the main house. The large gardens, with its own vegetable patch, are ideal for walking and relaxation. There are also a variety of outbuildings offering on-site day services and activities. The home has its own transport for trips to local recreational, leisure and educational facilities in the community. Residents enjoy visits to the beach, local zoos and walks in the New Forest.
