Based from our offices in Poole, Dorchester and Southampton, The Care Division are specialist providers of support to those with disabilities, who live in the Dorset and Hampshire area, and we are registered with the Care Quality Commission.
As you will see from our website, our staff are trained to assist with any type of disability, but our particular focus is on providing a supported living service for those with learning disabilities throughout Dorset and Hampshire, helping them to live happy and rewarding lives as part of their local community.
We are uniquely focused on supporting those who have a range of learning disabilities, with huge experience of supporting those within the autistic spectrum range. We currently provide direct 1 to 1 support to over 100 individuals living in their own homes in the community, who have a wide range of needs. Some of our clients with complex healthcare and social requirements are supported 24 hours a day and others receive just a few hours of support a week, to help them in various aspects of everyday living.
The majority of our work is directly commissioned by local authorities or privately through an individual’s Direct Payments, but we are also proud of our extensive work to support individuals in collaboration with other providers, including the Hampshire and Wessex Autistic Societies as well as our local authorities and NHS Trusts.
For individuals, family members or carers who are seeking support for themselves or the person they care for, we can help by working with you on the on-going development of a comprehensive Person Centred Care and Support Plan and by sourcing appropriate staff to meet your specific needs. Whether you are seeking a continuous plan of supported living, occasional assistance, respite cover or 24/7 high dependency care, as specialist care and support providers, we are in the position to help.
For those people looking for work in the supported living sector of learning disability care, we aim to match your own skills and talents with the specific needs of our clients, to provide you with a fulfilling, inspiring and rewarding career. Our training is second-to-none and we are committed to enabling your continued development within your chosen role.
We are dedicated to meeting the specific needs of each of our clients by providing a highly professional service through empathetic and skilled support workers, backed up by an efficient and knowledgeable office team, whose role is to inspire and motivate both our clients and workforce. Our support service is dedicated to matching these needs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
