Care AssistantDay Shift - Thorburn Manor Care Home

Lindemann Healthcare is a family run business which was established in 1995 and has over 25 years experience caring for older people in Edinburgh. Our dedicated team aims to provide specialised care in a safe homely atmosphere where the residents are cared for with dignity and respect. This allows each resident to function at their optimum level where they can feel content and at home.

We believe that our Care Homes should be therapeutic yet home like environments where the resident can feel their individual needs are met with priority. Our vision is to have a structure of flexibility in our approach. We will create opportunities through active observation and our training frameworks to establish a culture and coach our people in our Company Care V.A.L.U.E.S and our Residents Charter.

Due to internal promotions we are looking for the right people to provide the best care.
