We know that family can come from anywhere. At Bupa Care Homes, it's our privilege to care for people – treating each resident as if they were part of our own family. Right now, we’re looking for a caring individual to join our friendly team at our Southlands Care Home in Harrogate.

Whilst the home is 1 mile away from Harrogate train station, public transport can be tricky if you’re based further afield such as Leeds, that’s why we provide a bus service that can pick you up and drop you off from Leeds train station. Otherwise candidates will need to own a car and be able to drive or find alternative modes of transport.

Should you be successfully hired in to this role, we are pleased to be able to offer you a one-off Starter Bonus of £500 as a thank you for deciding to join Bupa Care Services. The Starter Bonus will be paid to you in the next available pay run once you have completed four weeks’ service and will be subject to deductions for tax and NI. Ts &Cs Apply.
