Rated GOOD by CQC & PAMMS | 48-Bedded Nursing Home | 100% Agency-Free | Warm, Vibrant & Totally Amazing!

Are you compassionate? Caring? Able to locate a call bell faster than you can find your car keys?

Do you want to work in a home so warm and welcoming that even the kettle feels appreciated?

Then Lakeside View Nursing Home wants YOU to join our incredible, lively, supportive team of Healthcare Heroes!

We’re a proudly agency-free, friendly home where you’re not just another number—you’re family. And not the awkward family member… the favourite one.

48 lovely residents who’ll brighten your day (and occasionally tell you you’re their favourite!)

• Supportive leadership, proper teamwork, and plenty of laughs along the way
• Full training provided — no capes required, but superpowers welcome

The Role – What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be doing the heart-warming, rewarding work that makes a real difference every single day:

• Helping residents with personal care (making sure dignity is front and centre)
• Supporting mobility, transfers & encouraging independence
• Assisting with meals (and celebrating when someone enjoys every bite!)
• Keeping care plans accurate and up to date
• Offering companionship, comfort, reassurance & lots of smiles
• Observing and reporting any changes in residents’ needs
• Light medication support (with training)
• Escorting to appointments or fun activities
