We also welcome experienced carers and support workers for other care settings, giving you the opportunity to put any transferable skills to their full potential.

Your day could involve supporting service users to choir pracctice, supporting a service user who writes their own songs and records them at a recording studio in the city centre and also supporting a service user who plays in a brass band. In the community, service users enjoy going to local pubs for meals, going to the cinema and going swimming. We are also eager to provide good in service activities such as yoga, board games, baking and more. Rosegarth is a very social home - there is never a dull day! We maintain a high quality level of personalised support, enabling our service users to holistically live their best lives.
You’ll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you all the way on your own journey.
