About the Home
Hey! You\'ve just stumbled across our home in Henlade, TA3. It\'s a 3 bedroom house, but right now there are only two of us living here, so it feels like the perfect size—not too busy, not too quiet.
We\'re Looking For
We\'re on the lookout for a Registered Manager who\'s more than just the boss. We want someone who actually joins in, gets involved, and makes time for us. Someone who\'s up for kicking a ball around, heading out on adventures, playing games, baking (even if it gets messy), or just chilling with a film and plenty of snacks. We need someone who doesn\'t give up when things get tough, who can make us laugh, help us figure things out, and remind us what we\'re good at.
If you\'re the kind of person who likes to get stuck in, enjoys a bit of fun, and wants to help turn our house into an even better home, maybe you\'re the one we\'re waiting for.
