WE ARE RECRUITING
We are recruiting a number of interesting roles within our care home. We have opportunities as part time and full time care assistants and housekeeping and full training is provided. If you are considering a change in your career or a move within care and you have the necessary passion and enthusiasm then please come and see us. We’d love to hear from you.
We are rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission We are a family owned and managed care home where the direct involvement of our family on a daily basis means that we provide care of the highest quality within a homely and unique environment. As a family we have been providing care to the local community for over 40 years and with the experience and knowledge gained over time we strive to stay at the forefront of residential and nursing care.
The design of our home is based on providing a community within a safe and secure environment while promoting access and wellbeing to those that are less able to do the things they have always done. A major aspect of the design is to provide stimulation and variety, something that is recognised to assist in wellbeing as we grow older as well as something that everyone is entitled to when living in care.
All of our bedrooms have ensuite wet rooms, are equipped with overhead hoists, and all have lovely views of our gardens and woodland. We believe that variety and stimulation is so important and activities such as singing and dancing have a wonderful effect on wellbeing. The home has its own pub, the Railway Tavern, serving pub lunches and an art deco theatre for musical and drama productions. The local community are also actively involved such as theatrical groups using our theatre to rehearse and put on shows for us and other local care homes. There are cameras in the garden, including one in a bird box, so residents are able to watch what goes on in the garden on their televisions. We also have wonderful staff who truly enjoy their work and being a part of what we do in many ways, from providing care to singing and dancing in our theatre.
The home has been described as a cruise ship, everything is on board.
