Who we are

At the heart of our family-owned care home group is a simple but powerful purpose: caring for people in a way that contributes to a meaningful life. Since 2019, we’ve been building something special, an organisation rooted in strong values, where people matter, and leadership is about bringing out the best in others.

Our Wellbeing Leads are at the heart of this journey. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of our residents, being responsible for planning and delivering engaging activities and events in our shared home community. We’re looking for a team member who is comfortable with being an active part of our busy team and having a voice in how we deliver quality care. Our innovative programme goes beyond the ordinary, ensuring that every resident feels included and engaged. The ability to think creatively, generate new ideas and establish connections with local businesses and communities is essential.

This role is perfect for someone with excellent communication skills, a passion for taking eye-catching photography and video and a genuine team spirit. Adaptability and being able to contribute to the needs of the home is crucial, making you a versatile member of our dynamic team. Most importantly, we are looking for someone with a high level of creativity who has a passion for working with people in care.
