Life doesn’t stand still, and neither do we.

Our care workers are the heartbeat of the Watermill who assist our residents with personal care needs, provide interaction and complete activities with residents throughout the day and provide support to residents in administering medication.
We need people who are passionate, supportive, patient and who love working with people! No prior experience in a care role is necessary however a positive, can-do attitude and a willingness to learn is a must!
