through our seven Supported Living Homes, with demand for housing increasing all the time,
and up to 100 people through our Day Services provision, across three beautiful sites in the
Ringwood and Bournemouth areas.

We use a person-centred approach, seeing the person and not the disability, and work with
each of them individually to help them develop their skills and confidence so they can live

for you to join an organisation that embraces creativity, proactive and collaborative

About Us

The Stable Family Home Trust was established over four decades ago with the aim of providing a caring and therapeutic environment for adults with learning disabilities.
