Acomb Manor is preparing to welcome its very first residents, and we're looking for compassionate and experienced Senior Care Assistants to join our founding team.
As part of the trusted St Mary's Care Group, we're creating more than a luxury care home. We're creating a warm, welcoming community where residents can continue to live with dignity, choice and purpose.

You'll be someone residents trust, families rely upon and colleagues look to for guidance and reassurance.
Whether you're supporting a resident through their daily routine, mentoring a new colleague or ensuring care plans are accurately updated, your contribution will make a meaningful difference every day.
