Where you’ll work
Once a convent school, The Rosary has stunning period features including high ceilings and fireplaces, as well as a magnificent staircase. It’s surrounded by stunning gardens. A focal point this year has been the new summer house, which the residents love to spend time in, admiring the gardens. Each month people from the Bridgwater and wider Somerset community come to the nursing home for a summer café, socialising with the residents over a slice of homemade cake. At Christmas, the gardens are transformed into a magical winter wonderland, with over 15,000 individual festive lights! The display is turned on during The Rosary’s Christmas fayre, and people flock to the nursing home from across Bridgwater in admiration.
