Overview
At Jewish Care, we support people to live independently, with dignity and connection at the heart of everything we do. Our Retirement Living services offer a vibrant, supportive community where tenants can enjoy their independence, knowing care and support are there when needed.

This role is based on an average of 37.5 hours per week, worked across a two-week rolling rota. Night shifts run from 9:00pm to 7:00am.
The shift pattern is as follows:
Week 1: Saturday, Sunday, Thursday, Friday
Week 2: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
There is a genuine occupational requirement, in accordance with the Sex Discrimination Act 1974, for the postholder to be female.
