You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes. Goodson Lodge is situated in the historic county town of Trowbridge. This purpose‐built care home has been created with our residents in mind. The home provides 24‑hour specialist person‑centred dementia care, residential care and respite care.

The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not‑for‑profit provider in the UK. Not‑for‑profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in. Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.

Alongside keeping our colleagues safe with PPE and daily testing, here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team:

• 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
• A company pension
• Free uniform
• Free DBS
• Higher rates of pay at weekends

• Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1,000 for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
• Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more

You’ll have NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care, or you’ve achieved NVQ Level 2, and you’re prepared to study for NVQ Level 3. You’ll also be experienced in leading a team to deliver care, be keen to progress to a role with greater levels of responsibility and be willing to undertake relevant training to support your career development in a nurturing, engaging and rewarding environment.

You’ll be a positive role model, with excellent communication skills and a natural ability to get along with others. A supportive leader, you’ll motivate your team to deliver the best possible care to our residents at all times.
