Cook
We’re one of the largest not for profit care provider 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 we care 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
invest 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. And we’re currently modernising
our portfolio of care homes – refurbishing our 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.
