Our values reflect who we are – together we are kind, positive, brave and empowering. We need people who really want to make a difference to the lives of people in later life to join us.

What is the role?

  • Providing support and advice to residents’ families and friends, keeping them informed at an appropriate level with due regard to the adherence of confidentiality
  • Working with the Activities Team to develop group and 1:1 activities that will be engaging and of interest to the residents
