Where you’ll work


One of the home’s volunteers drives the minibus, so the activities team is never short of help when taking residents to places, including Seaham beach or a social club the gents like to visit. Here they can meet up with people from other residential and nursing care homes across Durham for a chat and games. Another popular spot some of the residents like to visit is the Herrington Country Park in Houghton-le-Spring. Cedar Court has its own hairdressing salon, which has a nail bar if residents fancy a manicure or hand massage. Our gents often like to visit to have their facial hair trimmed too. As well as the mobile hairdresser that visits each week, one of our care team was once a hairdresser, so if our residents have a wedding or family celebration, she makes sure their hair and make-up look their best..
