Barty House Nursing Home is set in an impressive Georgian building in Bearsted, Kent, combining historic charm with modern facilities. The home provides high-quality nursing care for up to 59 residents in bright, ensuite rooms, many with garden access and countryside views, all delivered with empathy, compassion and dignity.

We’re looking for a special person who truly believes in bringing joy and sunshine into our residents’ lives every day.

With a genuine passion for the older generation, we’re seeking someone who is sociable, creative, fun-loving and above all well-organised.

Driven by our team of Activities Coordinators, you are the difference to ensuring that our residents’ days are filled with fun, variety, and stimulation.

Being able to build a rapport with our residents and getting to know their preferences is key to being able to make this role a success, as well as being inclusive of their individual preferences and care needs which range from low-level support through to dementia and nursing.
