Looking for a Care Role Where You Feel Appreciated?

Imagine working in a beautiful country house setting, surrounded by gardens, where quality care isn’t just something you deliver — it’s part of the home’s everyday culture.

We are recruiting for a Healthcare Assistant (Days) to join an exceptional, stand-alone nursing and residential care home on the outskirts of Winchester. With the relaxed ambience of a country house hotel and the warmth of an independent, close-knit team, this is a home where your contribution is recognised and valued.

  • Be part of a friendly, stable and professional team
  • Build meaningful, lasting relationships with residents

  • Feel supported by approachable and visible management

As a stand-alone home, decisions are made locally, communication is open, and every team member plays an important role in maintaining high standards.

  • Promote dignity, independence and choice
  • Assist with mobility and wellbeing
  • Accurately record care provided
  • Offer emotional support and companionship

You’ll play a vital role in ensuring residents feel safe, comfortable and respected throughout the day.

What We’re Looking For

  • A compassionate and patient nature
  • Good communication skills
