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. 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?

Clarendon House, located just outside Salisbury city centre, currently supports up to seven men and women of varied ages with a moderate to mild learning disability, mental health conditions and/or autism, including Asperger’s Syndrome. The home is specifically registered to support individuals with a dual diagnosis. Each resident has a bespoke support plan, based on their personal preferences, likes and dislikes and goals in life. Staff aim to support everyone to develop self-confidence and practical living skills, with the aim of moving on to a more independent setting. To support emotional and general wellbeing we offer in-house positive behaviour support, along with a commitment to ongoing education and personal development through structured activity programmes, both inside the home and out in the local community, including arts & crafts, cooking sessions and computer skills. Clarendon House is particularly suited to individuals moving back to the area from a previous out-of-county placement and for those moving on from a secure hospital setting.
