We are looking for people to make a difference to residents’ lives every day. When you join Care UK you’ll be joining a team who all share the same values: caring, passionate and teamwork. You will have a strong desire to help people and put residents at the heart of everything you do.
We are committed to recruiting diverse, talented people, who share our passion for helping others. We see the potential in everyone, let us help fulfil yours.
Our Knebworth care home is all about enjoying a superb lifestyle and
quality care in beautiful surroundings.
Our experienced team provides permanent nursing and residential
care, including care for people who are living with Alzheimer’s and
other forms of dementia.
We work closely with you and your loved one to understand their
life history, skills and the people and places that are important to
them. And, because we believe that life doesn’t stop when a person
moves into a care home, we also find out their wishes and aims for the
future. Then we create care and lifestyle plans that reflect your
loved ones needs, wishes and preferences, that enable them to live
each day in the way they want.
At our Knebworth care home, we’re dedicated to enabling
residents to enjoy rewarding activities and meaningful experiences
every day. Some residents find meaning and purpose from helping out
around the home, folding laundry, laying the tables for lunch, or
helping out in the garden.
Our lifestyle coordinators also plan fun group and one-to-one
activities tailored to residents’ hobbies and interests. We also get
out and about whenever we can, to the shops, a local pub for lunch, or
a stately home. However, there’s lots to keep us occupied in our
beautiful home, including a pub and cafe, a cinema lounge and a hair
and beauty salon.
