ABOUT THE ROLE

As one of only 4 nationally recognised care centres for Huntington’s Disease, the home offers excellent learning and progression opportunities for Care Assistants to develop into Care Practitioners.

In return for your dedication, we are offering a £500 Golden Hello*, competitive rates of pay, and an industry leading rewards package.
