Address
SalaryLocated close to the historic town of Maidstone, Cavell Park Care Home is situated on Sittingbourne Road, which is just a short drive from the M20 motorway. Maidstone and its surrounding areas boast famous sights such as the distinguished Leeds Castle and the renowned River Medway.
This impressive location is the birthplace of the father of English sonnets Sir Thomas Wyatt, and our home takes its name from the heroic First World War nurse Edith Cavell, who worked in Maidstone during her training. Nicknamed the events capital of Kent, Maidstone has much to offer our prospective residents – from river cruises and vineyard tours to trips around the stunning Moat Park nature reserve.
Cavell Park Care Home offers 24-hour residential, nursing, and dementia care within an environment purpose-built for the practical delivery of high-quality care, whilst being stylish, comfortable and incorporating many thoughtful features that are always tailored towards the satisfaction and safety of our residents.
Experienced and empathetic care comes as standard at every Porthaven care home, and at Cavell Park Care Home our team of hand-selected staff are on hand to support not only the physical needs of our residents but their emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs too. We place a particular emphasis on encouraging independence and promoting wellbeing through good nutrition, hydration and socialisation.
Every resident at Cavell Park Care Home benefits from a generously sized bedroom with an ensuite wetroom, as well as numerous communal living areas for socialising with friends and family, engaging in their hobbies and dining. Our residents also have access to our state-of-the-art gym, cinema, café, treatment room and hair and nail salon. A dedicated activities and wellbeing room and a private dining room for special family celebrations completes the array of first-class facilities on offer.
Cavell Park Care Home is a place to live well in our care in style. We would be delighted to chat to you and show you around our home, to see what we could offer you or your loved one, so you can see for yourself what makes a Porthaven home so special.

About the role
As a carer on our team, you will care for our residents as if they were members of your own family, recognising that each one of them is an individual with their own needs and preferences.

Throughout all of your interactions with our residents, you will ensure that their needs are met through the delivery of dignified and person-centered care.
About You
You will be cheerful, caring and compassionate, as well as having a flexible approach to working shifts. If you have experience in care, that is great, but your personal qualities are far more important to us and we will provide full training and support for you to start your career in care.
