Gretna, United Kingdom Virginia Lodge Care Home - Longtown Full time

**Are you who we’re looking for?**

Are you a Healthcare Worker, Support Worker, Care Assistant, Home Carer, or have a real passion to help and support people?

Are you looking for employment? A reason to get out of the house, a purpose, an opportunity to achieve and earn some ££ in the process?

Are you already in employment but feel unsatisfied? Do you feel unappreciated? Like no one listens? Like no one cares about what you need?

**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.

- A set workplace - we won’t surprise any new locations on you, we’re one home in one location,

- The opportunity to grow in a supportive environment - we’re not a big bustling company, we’re a small team with family values and we care about our employees and what they need to excel,

- Competitive salary, bonus schemes and incentives,
- Rewards and gifts,
- A safe, clean, Covid-free environment.

**Working Hours and Location**

Shift lengths and 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.
