About Exemplar Health Care (Extended)

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.

Whoever you are, and whatever experience you bring, there are lots of ways you can help us make every day better for the people we support.

What’s happening at Exemplar Health Care

The people we support have unique needs and stories, but one thing stays the same across all our homes - we empower individuals to achieve personal goals in a safe and supportive environment.

Every new colleague attends an induction to learn about our company and complete mandatory and role‑specific training, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional care.

Whether your goals are in care, nursing, management, quality or support, we provide the confidence, skills and knowledge to help you excel in your role and advance your career, if you wish.

Happy, healthy colleagues mean better care for those we support. We offer a range of initiatives to ensure our colleagues thrive in safe and supportive environments.

From paid RCNi Learning access and NMC PIN payments for nurses to lifestyle and retail discounts for everyone, our rewards ensure your career is as fulfilling as it is rewarding.

From care homes to central support services, everyone plays a vital role. Hear from colleagues across various roles about what it’s like to work with us.
