Senior Care Assistant – Luxury Retirement Home – AV2053
Location: Sleaford, Lincolnshire
Pay: £13.75 per hour.
Hours: Days – 25 Hours per week
About the Home
This small, family-owned care home in Sleaford provides a warm, friendly and genuinely homely environment for just 14 residents.
Established over 40 years ago, the home has a strong family heritage and remains independently owned and managed. The current manager is the third generation of the family to be involved in the business, with the fourth generation regularly visiting and getting to know residents and staff.
The home takes great pride in providing the same high standard of care that you would want for your own parents. The manager is involved in every aspect of the home and knows residents and their families personally, creating a close-knit environment where everyone is treated as an individual.
This is not a large corporate care setting. Instead, it offers a small, relaxed and friendly home-from-home atmosphere, where residents are known personally and staff are genuinely encouraged to build meaningful relationships.
The Chestnuts has an exceptionally loyal and experienced staff team, with some employees having been part of the home for up to 25 years. The low staff turnover reflects the supportive culture and happy, settled environment.
As an award-winning care home, the team is committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care while ensuring residents feel comfortable, respected and valued.
