Monkscroft Care Centre, located in the heart of Cheltenham, offers outstanding person centred and friendly dementia and nursing care for up to 80 residents in a charming and comfortable environment.

ABOUT YOU

If you’ve worked in a housekeeping role before, then that’s great as you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. But if housekeeping as a profession is new to you, then don’t worry – we’ll provide all the training you need to start your new career with us. What’s more important to us is that you take pride in your work, you’re good at communicating with people, you enjoy working as part of a team, you’ll be keen to learn and will want to excel at your job every day.
