Julia's House

Providing a caring, responsible and professional environment, we are a dynamic, fast-growing charity.

In order to provide the best possible care for life-limited and life-threatened children throughout Dorset, Julia's House aims to recruit and keep quality staff with the right skills and capabilities.

This means that we must be competitive with other care providers such as the NHS and we must be recognised as an excellent employer. Julia's House places great importance on maintaining a healthy organisational culture and so the subject receives its own section in the charity's strategic plan and all staff are asked to sign a values document.

So far 2009 has been a great year for us for winning awards. We have been awarded Three Star Status in the Best Companies Accreditation 2009. Three stars is awarded to companies regarded as 'extraordinary'. We also received the ranking of 14th overall in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Small Companies to Work For 2009, released on Sunday 1 March.

The listing sees Julia's House positioned as the highest ranking children's charity in the country and the top small company to work for in Dorset, and the Sunday Times also placed us third highest for making a positive difference to the world.

Martin Edwards, our Chief Executive, was also recognised as the Chief Executive of the Year at the Wessex Charity Awards 2009; a new initiative to honour the work undertaken by the charity sector in the Wessex region.
