Job description

At Anchor, we are focused on making our care homes not just luxury places for our residents to live, but also wonderful places for our team members to work in. Because we believe that our residents deserve the very best care we can offer, we are committed to finding exceptional, caring individuals who want to join our team.

We will ensure that every team member is offered the opportunity to develop their skills and to progress if desired. We believe that caring, compassionate people can find a rewarding career in helping others and that it is our duty to help and encourage them to do so.

Hours of work:
