The Sandstone vision is to provide its residents and staff with the opportunity to live and work in high-quality, modern and dynamic environments, in which our residents and their loved ones can relax, enjoy and call their own home. Looking out over the serene open fields of Burscough's historical airbase, this luxury 80-bedded home nursing home was purpose-built just 2 years ago to deliver exceptional standards of specialist care, including: complex care, dementia care, palliative care, and general residential and nursing care.

Having just taken new ownership of this beautiful home, Sandstone Care Group are excited to develop this setting to its full potential, starting with building an exceptional team of passionate and skilled individuals. As the home is currently at a low occupancy level, this is a fantastic opportunity to ‘make your mark', help to create a positive culture and be part of Burscough Manor's journey as the home grows busier. With highly competitive pay rates on offer, excellent transport links and great development opportunities
