We are looking for calm, resourceful, and enthusiastic individuals who are highly motivated, hardworking, and keen to support older people in a proactive and holistic manner.

The service consists of 41 flats providing residential nursing care.
You will have advanced skills in positive communication and engagement, and will be able to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for all of our service users. You will support people to maintain a healthy state of wellbeing – mentally, physically and emotionally.

You will be required to work in a flexible manner, on a roster basis, which will include evenings and weekends.
