Job description

Would you like to work in beautiful forest scenery, with a working farm? We are not just a large sterile care home; we have unique homes with cozy atmospheres.

You could accompany residents on outings, join in our regular celebrations, singing, music, and feasts prepared by Corbenic.

You will support the House Co-ordinator with running a house and coordinating staff and volunteers. Are you excited about joining a charity where you are a valued community member? This is a full-time role, working 37.5 hours per week. It is a fixed-term position for 1 year, covering maternity leave.
