Carer(O)
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.

The Government’s ‘Infection Control Fund’ (introduced as a result of the
Coronavirus) requires Care homes to restrict permanent and temporary staff to
working in only one care home, to help reduce the spread of the
Coronavirus. As a result of this, if you already have another job
elsewhere (either in Care or another sector) and you wish to continue working
there alongside the Trust, unfortunately we would not be able to progress with
your application at this time. However, if you are happy to consider committing
to working for us exclusively until the restrictions are lifted we are happy to
discuss guaranteeing you the hours you will lose from not being able to work your
second job. Or once the restrictions are lifted, please do not hesitate to
re-apply for any of our roles that maybe of interest to you then.
