Where you’ll work
Chadwell House is highly regarded in the local Romford community, who are very supportive when they host ‘open day’ events and fundraisers. One which always goes down a treat is the annual virtual cruise week, where residents experience the flavours and cultures of places around the globe in the heart of the home. One of these took them to the USA – with staff even dressing as the Statue of Liberty! The home has its own karaoke machine so is often filled with the sound of singing. There is a magnificent, spacious atrium with high ceilings in the centre of the home where residents and the team sit together for sing-alongs. This area has just been refurbished and looks stunning.
