About Colten Care
Colten Care operates 21 residential, nursing and dementia care homes across Dorset, Hampshire, West Sussex and Wiltshire. Founded in Lymington in 1981 by John Colwell and Adrian Otten, it remains family-owned. The company designs, builds and operates its homes, with its own nurses present day and night in every home.
Colten Care describes a workforce of nearly 2,000 people. Local management and care teams run daily life in each home, supported by central operational and clinical teams. Care centres on residents’ routines, preferences and wellbeing, with food, activities, music and gardens forming part of home life. Its services include short stays and respite as well as long-term care.
Starting and developing at Colten
Colten’s Induction Academy brings together new colleagues in clinical and non-clinical roles. An initial week of central learning is followed by practical learning and shadowing experienced colleagues. The learning and development team supports employees across the business, with a shared platform and leadership programmes for staff at different levels.
