Salutem Healthcare

What Salutem Healthcare does

Salutem Healthcare, trading as Salutem Care and Education, is a privately held UK specialist care and education provider founded in 2016 and headquartered in Windsor (registered office). The group operates four service divisions — Adult Services, Children's Services, Education, and Supported Living — delivered through five retained sub-brands (Pathways Care Group, Modus Care, Clearwater Care, Ambito Care & Support, and Ambito Education) under two parent holding companies, Salutem LD Topco Limited and Salutem LD Topco II Limited. It serves individuals with complex learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, genetic conditions and physical disabilities across more than 130 sites in England and Wales, supported by over 1,800 employees.

The service portfolio spans residential homes, day centres, specialist schools and colleges, and supported living, with person-centred electronic care planning and a Single Assessment Framework (covering Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-Led domains) underpinning delivery. A distinct capability is the Chiron Online Education Platform (OEP), which is the first provision accredited by the Department for Education under its Online Education Accreditation Scheme and is delivered via a device-led model using managed Apple iPads, in close partnership with technology provider Jigsaw24. The group reports that 95% of its services are rated Good or Outstanding by CQC/Ofsted.

Salutem generates revenue through contract-based, multi-year arrangements with UK Local Authorities and other commissioning partners across its residential, supported living, day and education services. Referral-driven go-to-market operates with a stated 48-hour response window, and the group supplements its service delivery with branded employee benefits (Salutem Extras), structured apprenticeship and graduate programmes through The 5% Club, and workplace partnerships with organisations including Be Mindful, Innovating Minds, Beyond the Binary and Living Legacy. Operating status is active, with no parent company, no public listing, and no external private equity or venture capital disclosed in the available materials.
