Ready to make a real impact while working somewhere genuinely different?
At Burdon Grange, we’re not your typical care home—we’re a vibrant, supportive, and forward-thinking community. We provide specialist care for adults aged 18+ living with neurological conditions, physical disabilities, and acquired brain injuries, helping each individual live life to the fullest.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Highampton, Beaworthy, our home is full of warmth, energy, and compassion. Our incredible multidisciplinary team—including carers, physiotherapists, nurses, hydration assistants, domestics, and activity coordinators—work side by side to make every day meaningful and fulfilling for our residents.
We truly celebrate individuality, and we’re proud to deliver high-quality, person-centred care that respects each resident’s choices, dignity, and independence. Our team is trusted to make a difference—every interaction matters.
