**Care Assistants**

Fairfield Residential Home is an independent charitable trust providing care and assistance to elderly residents in a unique and supportive environment. Founded in 1947, it has a long standing reputation for delivering excellent standards of care. Initially established in a large
Victorian house at 115 Banbury Road, Oxford, it is now housed in a purposebuilt state of the art facility, completed in the summer of 2018. This provides 38 ensuite bedrooms, some of which are suitable for couples, and highquality communal facilities including a large lounge, a dining room, a fully equipped activities suite with IT, wellness and beauty rooms as well as a separate 2bedroom suite and a large, landscaped garden. It currently employs around 50 staff.

Fairfield is owned by a charitable company and is governed by a Board of Trustees. It is registered with the Charity Commission No. 1114653 and is regulated by the Care Quality
Commission (CQC). It was rated Good by the last CQC inspection report dated March 2018.

Fairfield is noted for the love and affection its staff have for its residents and for its committed team of carers and support staff who contribute to the distinctive atmosphere. All employees are expected to enhance and promote this ethos.

Due to our continued success we are now recruiting additional Care Assistants.
