A proactive approach, strong work ethic and a good sense of humour are equally as important as job ability.

Based within a separate office building on site at one of the homes, you'll enjoy working in a modern, welcoming office surrounded by beautiful gardens, a pond and peaceful countryside, whilst working a 4-day week allowing a perfect work life balance!
