Ready to make a real impact while working somewhere genuinely different?
At Burdon Grange, we’re not your typical care home—we’re a warm, lively, forward-thinking community supporting adults (from 18 onwards) living with neurological conditions, physical disabilities and acquired brain injuries. Every resident has their own unique personality, sense of humour and goals, and we work as a team to help them reach their fullest potential.

You don’t need any formal qualifications or previous experience—just genuine warmth and a desire to make a positive difference to someone who relies on you. Whatever your background, our training and support will help you build and grow your skills. With flexible working options available, you can fit the role around your life.
