Night Nurse

Overview

We’re one of the largest not-for-profit care providers in the UK, specialising in providing high quality, person-centred care for older people, in care homes and extra care housing nationwide.

At OSJCT we care about our residents and about each other. That means you’ll enjoy great career development working for an expanding organisation. Because we’re a not-for-profit trust, we reinvest every penny we make in the people who live in our homes and the people who work here too. This means better quality care and lovely homes for our residents, along with competitive wages and great training and development for our people.

We provide outstanding care, working closely with leading experts on dementia and elderly care. We’re modernising our portfolio of care homes – refurbishing existing homes and moving into new, inspiring, contemporary care homes too. As we expand nationwide, we need more people with the right mix of skills, passion and ambition to help us grow even more.

Meadowcroft offers compassionate, individualised residential, dementia and nursing care for 71 residents just a short walk from the historical market town centre of Thame.
