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.

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?

Compton House, near Winchester, is an eleven-bedroom residential home for residents of varied ages with learning disabilities and complex needs, including those who are non-verbal. Residents are supported with 24-hour staff and our own in-house Positive Behaviour Support Team. Like other Choice Care homes, Compton House offers structured activity programmes to support personal development, including 'LD Club', 'Sensory for All' and cycling, designed to maximise independence and enable everyone to achieve individual goals at their own pace. The home has its own transport for local travel to the shops and leisure centre, as well as for trips further afield.
