The home is located in an extremely idyllic area in the beautiful village of Bembridge. The original building has been extended and developed to include a purpose-built wing, providing a warm and comfortable environment for the residents. The company has a number of homes across the South of England and are well-known for providing top quality, person-centred care in all of their services. This is an exciting opportunity for Carers to join their passionate team of HCA's and SHCA's and put your acreer in the best of hands.
