Additional information

Exemplar Health Care began as a healthcare consultancy and training firm. But we soon saw a gap in the sector: a lack of care homes for younger adults living with complex needs. That insight shaped the mission we still live by today - to transform complex care and provide fulfilling opportunities for the people who need it most. We’re now proud to have more than 60 care homes across England, providing nursing care for adults living with dementia, neuro-disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities.

We are committed to providing an inclusive workplace that respects diversity. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, and we are dedicated to fostering an environment that values equality, diversity and inclusion.
