Ludlow Street Healthcare is a specialist provider of care for adults over the age of 18 with complex mental health problems, autism, learning disabilities, and neurological conditions including dementia and acquired brain injuries.

It provides transition-focused healthcare and bespoke step-down services, including specialist assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and education, throughout Wales and the South West of England.

The organisation operates a hospital for patients with neuropsychiatric and acquired brain injuries, a purpose-built secure hospital for patients with mental health issues, a learning disability rehabilitation centre, a specialist further education college for students with autism, and a portfolio of community homes accommodating residents with both mental health conditions and learning disabilities or autistic spectrum conditions.

Set up in 2005 by healthcare specialists in response to a lack of appropriate NHS provision, Ludlow Street Healthcare has developed a reputation for its person-centred approach, community-focused settings and specialist staff all of which have contributed to consistently successful outcomes for all its service users.

For over a decade, it has worked in partnership with the NHS, developing services and investing in the necessary health infrastructure and staff training, to support patients on their journey to recovery and a more independent and fulfilling life, through step-down to community living - improving social integration and inclusion.

Ludlow Street Healthcare believes that all those entrusted to our care are capable of progress and development and that positive change can be achieved for all. We recognise how important quality of life is to a person’s recovery and have created an environment which promotes rehabilitation and community integration.

Experienced in working with people with mental health and learning disabilities, our highly specialised multi-disciplinary teams have designed care pathways around government and health authority-recognized Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) approaches alongside our uniquely developed person-centred Building Better Lives (BBL) recovery model.

All our care pathways are tailored to create positive measurable outcomes, helping individuals to develop the skills they need to move on to a more independent life. Bespoke activity programmes allow our service users to actively contribute to their own care and attainment of their own personal development goals.

Support Worker in Sully
on 23 September 2023
Not great on the main, but, occasionally fab.
What is the best part of working at the company?Not a lot of support from managers or colleagues, after incidents where you had been attacked. Some of the students are AMAZING and it has been a year since I left and I still miss them. I built up some brilliant relationships with students over the five years I was there. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Lack of suppo...

Staff on wards are really supportive, management not so much
A very rewarding job, taxing on mental health. Ward staff are very supportive, though management aren't the most helpful. Staffing is absolutely awful, always running on minimum or below minimum numbers, meaning higher work load.

Fair job in care
Most care sector is understaffed and the payment is not the best. Ludlow pays usually above the threshold and there is a lot of overtime available. Progression is quick and possible but only to specific qualities in certain individuals, experience and confidence will take a long way. Line managers were supportive of certain individuals.

Great team
Great team but the clinical lead is not a nice person, Manager is amazing though. The patients are well cared for but the environment isn't suited to their needs and requires a lot of change. Funding us poor and the company needs to significantly invest to remain a market leader.
