Dimensions is a national social care company and we are proud to have been recognised as one of the UK’s best workplaces in the ‘super large’ category by the Great Place to Work Institute three years in a row.

As one of the country’s largest not-for-profits supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, behaviours of distress, and complex needs, we are driven by our values. People with learning disabilities and their families are at the heart of everything we do and we want every person we support to have a great life, with excellent outcomes.

Dimensions has hundreds of services across England and Wales and have over 5000 colleagues supporting more than 2,500 people.

Our head office is based in Theale (Reading), however since the pandemic all business support staff now work from home, with access to work in shared workspaces.

We are always working to improve standards – our own and across the sector. Dimensions was one of the pioneers of personalised support, showing how it works in practice, and enabling thousands of people to have greater choice and control. We continue to be innovative in our approach, and our Strategy for 2025 outlines our commitment to becoming a leader in our sector.

Thorough training but lack of shadowing for new staff
Management and staff were all inviting but I found a lack in shadowing/induction/teaching when learning the ropes of what was a brand new company/home and clients. Needs a more thorough process to ensure new starters are safe and comfortable with all expected working practices and that they have been shown properly how to do things before asking them to take on such tasks.
