Highwood Care Home is a brand new, purpose-built facility nestled in the picturesque and historic port town of Bideford. Our luxury care home offers a warm and welcoming environment for up to 67 residents, providing Residential, Dementia, Nursing, and Respite care. With state-of-the-art facilities and beautifully designed spaces, we pride ourselves on creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where residents can feel truly at home. Surrounded by stunning views and a vibrant local community, Highwood Care Home is committed to delivering the highest standard of care, tailored to meet the unique needs of every individual. Join us at Highwood, where comfort, care, and compassion come together.

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. Caring for our residents is at the heart of our business but looking after someone’s wellbeing in their next chapter of life goes much further than watching TV and a game of Bingo! Driven by our team of Wellbeing 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.

Experience of working in a care home is not a pre-requisite - we are simply looking for someone who sparkles and who enjoys having fun whilst making a real difference to our fabulous residents.

What we offer:

• Contracted to 20 hours per week
• Pension
• Onsite Parking
• Paid DBS
• Uniform Provided
• 5.6 Weeks Annual Leave (Based on a full-time contract)

What You’ll Do

Plan and Organize: Create and manage monthly rolling programmes as well as individual activities, encouraging residents to stay active and maintain their hobbies.
Foster Social Connections: Help residents socialize and enjoy their time in the care home through diverse activities that cater to all preferences.
Keep Accurate Records: Maintain detailed documentation of daily activities.

What You’ll Bring

• Event Planning Skills: Proven ability to develop and organize a range of engaging events and activities.
• Creativity and Confidence: A friendly, creative, and confident personality that shines through in your work.
• Passion for Elderly Care: A genuine interest in working with the elderly, helping them live life to the fullest.
• Communication and Teamwork: Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.

About us:
You’ll be joining a values-led care home that’s part of the Care Concern Group, a family-owned provider with over 100 care homes across the UK. We’re expanding rapidly and are committed to delivering high-quality care and support to our residents. If you’re ready to take on a rewarding role in a growing and supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you.
We believe in delivering care to the highest standard, and our five core values guide everything we do:
Trust | Respect | Passion | Kindness | Inclusivity
These values define who we are and underpin everything we do, from the smallest interaction to the most complex care. If you live by these principles, this is a place where you can belong and truly make a difference.
