**Description**

Located just outside of Longtown, Virginia Lodge Care Home is a family owned and run care home, established in 1990.

We’re different than most homes - we’re a small business and we care about our employees. It’s what has brought us so much success over the years. We don’t have a board of directors demanding their salaries. The management team is small, and we’re hands on. This means we’ve a supportive environment, where good teamwork is apparent in all that we achieve.

Experience is preferred, but not essential as full training is given. If you’re committed to care work and want to develop your career, then there’s opportunity for that - with many carers over the years moving up the ranks into senior positions. We allow time in everyone’s day to learn, train, and grow within their roles.

- Helping to maintain accurate records,
- Ensuring a clean and hygienic environment for everyone,

- Liaising with outside healthcare professionals as is appropriate,
- Generally promoting our residents’ independence, choice, dignity, and respect by delivering the very best standards of care.

**Working Hours and Location**

Right now, we’re focused on looking for people who can run our care shifts. It’s not that we won’t consider those who can only work during the night, or non-senior roles, it’s just where our focus needs to be right now.

Shift patterns are what you need them to be - we like to work on a fortnightly rota, with employees working alternate weekends, just to keep things fair for everybody, but we consider ALL circumstances. We’re aware that our employees have their own lives outside of their work and need to maintain a good balance for their own wellbeing.

We’re located just outside of Longtown, CA6 5TL.

If you’re driving, we’re a straight run from Langholm, Carlisle, and Brampton. We’re on Old Road which is a continuation of Mill Street, once you’re on Mill Street keep driving, the road changes into a country lane, and we’re on the left - you can’t miss us.

The nearest bus stop is approximately 1 mile away. If walking isn’t your thing - our location isn’t right for you.
