**About the home**

Pennystone Court care home in Blackpool
When you first visit Pennystone Court, it is not the sights and sounds of the seaside that will stay with you, despite the short stroll to the seafront. It is probably not the design of the home either. Lovely though it is.
Instead, it is the spirit of positivity and warmth that permeates our home, with a mantra to make great things happen, no matter what it takes.
It is this positive outlook that has created a home filled with uplifting stories, energising people, and amazing achievements. It is the reason you can feel such a strong sense of togetherness. Because when there is an idea or opportunity to make later life better for residents. It happens.

Therefore, whilst previous care experience is desirable it is not essential, and we will provide all the training and support you need to thrive. You do not need any qualifications to get started as a Care Assistant. You will have a kind, warm and caring nature and be able to work well as part of a team but also use your own initiative.
