First and foremost – we work together as a team to enrich our residents’ lives – let’s support our colleagues too and have fun in the process 

Leisure and social activities are a really important part of the day – let’s get creative and stuck in

The opportunities are endless in terms of what activities you could introduce and we would be interested to hear your ideas

Team work!  A happy team, makes for happy residents and a happy home 

Experience is not essential, as we will support you with all the training and support you’ll need to do the job, what is important is that you are caring, enthusiastic and have energy to share 

Being able to communicate well is essential along with a flexible approach 

You will also be kind and have a real genuine like for older people and their needs, ensuring we treat everyone with the respect and dignity they deserve.
