We are a friendly and close knit team who promote a happy, friendly and family atmosphere. Our residents mostly require 1:1 supervision throughout the day and night, but most of all require someone with good values and a happy disposition to provide company and a listening ear. We promote an active lifestyle and therefore will require our seniors to organise teams to take patients out for activities, walks and at times attend events with residents. As such a full driving license is preferred.

Shifts will be 12 hours with a 1 hour unpaid break, staff will be expected to arrive 15 minutes early for handover, you will be paid for this time. We will have a fully qualified chef and will be promoting staff to eat with patients to promote a family environment. Please note, we have day shift patterns available.
