Shape the future of compassionate care in Dorset.
A welcome from Care Dorset managing director Chris Best
Thank you for your interest in joining Care Dorset.
In many ways Care Dorset has all the same routines as any other large organisation. What makes it different – what new colleagues always notice – is our sense of purpose. That, and the scope you’ll be given to influence the business as it develops and grows.
Our role is to provide and improve adult social care in the 23 services, plus outreach, we operate throughout Dorset. We do that largely on behalf of Dorset Council, who established us in October 2022.
What makes you joining at this moment so fortunate is Care Dorset is at the start of its five-year strategic period, by the end of which we’ll be something new.
Our Strategy, Your Life, Your Way, aims to transform our business into a vibrant, proudly commercial and future-focused organisation.
It’s a big task, and we’re under no illusions about the challenges we’ll face on that path. Which is why we need people not just willing to work hard, but to think differently.
In return you’ll be regarded as the in-house expert in your field, have considerable freedom to define your own working model and will develop your experience portfolio.
More than that, you’ll be working for a values-led business, defined by its purpose and on a new path to success.
I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Care Dorset.
Chris Best, Managing Director
