Join a Care Home designed around exceptional care

At Ribble Court, we're redefining what a care home can be. Gone are the days of tired décor and institutional environments. Part of the Sandstone Care Group, our vision is to create beautiful, modern spaces where residents feel truly at home and where our teams are proud to work.

Our stunning 53-bed care home offers state-of-the-art facilities, including:

• Coffee shop and bistro
• Hair and nail salon
• Spacious dining and lounge areas
• Beautifully landscaped gardens
• Advanced care planning and nurse-call technology

We provide specialist and complex nursing care alongside residential dementia care, delivering personalised support that puts each resident's individual needs, wishes and choices at the heart of everything we do.

About the Role

As a Care Practitioner, you'll play a key role in supporting residents to live comfortable, fulfilling and meaningful lives. Every day is different, and you'll make a genuine difference through the care, kindness and companionship you provide.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting residents with personal care and daily living activities
• Assisting with nutrition, hydration and mealtime support
• Encouraging participation in hobbies, activities and social engagement
• Providing emotional support and companionship
• Promoting independence, dignity and choice at all times
• Maintaining a safe, clean and welcoming environment
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to deliver outstanding care
• Participating in training and development opportunities

You'll be:

• Compassionate, caring and approachable
• Positive, reliable and enthusiastic
• Passionate about supporting older people
• A strong team player

Previous care experience is beneficial but not essential, as full training and support will be provided.
