For 2026 we’re 18th (up from 27th last year). And with our ranking in the Super Large (1,000+ employees) category, we sit alongside many large corporations such as Home Group Ltd, Experian and Adobe. Like last year, we remain the highest-ranking not-for-profit social care organisation. As Sam Smith, Chief People Officer, says, "Together, I believe we have created a special and unique culture here at Dimensions. This is largely due to colleagues’ willingness to provide honest feedback via the colleague survey, which in turn enables us to improve their working experiences. Our rankings are driven by the feedback you give, and I am delighted that we have been accredited by the Great Place to Work Institute once again. We know that our culture helps us recruit and retain high-quality colleagues, and ultimately to maintain continuity of support for the people we support."
