We are delighted to have opened Heath Lodge Care Home this year and would like to invite you to come along for the exciting journey! Heath Lodge is based in Holt, Norfolk and we are ready to start building our elite team.

We will ensure that every team member is offered the opportunity to develop their skills and to progress if desired. We believe that caring, compassionate people can find a rewarding career in helping others and that it is our duty to help and encourage them to do so.

You will have achieved or be working towards a Diploma/NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care to evidence your commitment and passion for care and be excited about the prospect of working as part of a dynamic team, ensuring the home adheres to the necessary requirements and procedures at all times, as the ‘senior’ in charge. You will quickly become part of the care home family and let’s be honest, our team members are what makes our home a great place to live and work!
