Responsible for: The people we support and colleagues. Reporting to the Senior Housekeeper, Service Manager, Assistant Manager and Team Leaders

About Heathside and The Mews

We support older people and people with dementia in our residential homes, Heathside and The Mews, either as a permanent new home or for short respite breaks. Heathside is our 37-bedroom residential home with a cozy and homely feel, and The Mews is our 25-bed home with a light, modern airy feel. Heathside and The Mews are just next door to one another and collaborate on many fun activities and outings, but each offers a different living experience to the residents. You can read more about each home on our website.

One thing they have in common, though, is the high level of care provided. Our approach is entirely built around the people we support, and we don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Everyone we support is different, so we take the time to get to know them and create a bespoke support plan and personalise everything - even down to how they like their morning routine.

Our Values

• Supporting rights, needs, choices & dreams.
• Seeing the possibility to make a difference in all that we do.
• Being financially responsible and economically sustainable.
• Embracing new technology and innovation.
• Appreciating every colleague's contribution.
