About Style Acre

As an approved provider with Oxfordshire County Council our person-centred support ranges from 24-hour care for those with complex learning, health and /or physical disabilities to a few hours support per week for those who live more independently. People we support are given the freedom and independence to live with peers in a supported environment through our supported living households. We also run three community hubs in Wallingford, Didcot and Banbury so that people with learning disabilities can get the best out of their local communities.

There is a possibility of being offered a full-time role after successful completion of the apprenticeship.
