Do you want a job with a high level of satisfaction? Are you a caring person? Do you enjoy making people happy and feel safe? Then we have the perfect role for you!

The Home and Its Staff:

Claremont House is a beautiful modern, 40 bed care facility located in the village of Heckmondwike that cares for adults over 65 years with a diagnosis of Dementia.
Our home offers security and safety in a home-from-home environment, working with families during what can often be a worrying time, to ensure our staff are providing residents with the extra support and understanding they now need in their daily life.

Claremont House has 4 lovely furnished suites (Lavender, Orchid, Iris, and Rose), each suite includes a freshly decorated lounge and several rooms for residents. Each room is either made to feel like a bedroom or a little apartment, depending on the resident’s preference.

With fantastic facilities, our residents can enjoy their days either sitting in the conservatory listening to the record player, delight in a hot beverage or play the piano in the Café, take a stroll around the large garden and pop into the well being pod or visit the onsite hairdresser or our activity/sensory room.

Here at Claremont, the management carefully considers and ensures all dementia needs are catered for, for example all residents en suite bathrooms are getting replaced with new ones to accommodate a more assisted bathroom layout with a neutral rather than blue floor; our elevator mirror is covered with art work painted by a staff family member; residents even have a special dementia sitting room to relax in, with old time furniture and ornaments such as the Coronation Street flying Ducks.

With over 60 happy staff, the Claremont team work hard to ensure the residents remain at the centre of all that we do, often going the extra mile to make our residents feel special and engaged with celebrations such as raffles, parties, and movie nights.
