The ideal candidate should be ready to assist and look after the physical and personal needs of the older people living in our care home. We’re looking for someone who is naturally compassionate and can help us deliver exceptional care. This role is about working within a team of care professionals, helping to care for the wellbeing of each resident, and looking after any complex needs with real sensitivity.

We are a family‑run business providing quality residential care homes and support services to older people and those living with dementia. Our ongoing success is due to our focus on providing personalised care and support, and to the team who provide that support. Our team all receive mandatory training such as safeguarding of vulnerable adults, first‑aid, infection‑control, end of life care, health and safety, safe handling of medicines and dementia care.
We built the first residential care home in the early 1980s when we noticed that many care homes were set up in old converted buildings that didn’t always lend themselves to meeting the wide‑ranging needs of those with age‑related difficulties or dementia. We built the home brick by brick to create first‑rate, safe and homely accommodation in a community setting. Since those early days, we have grown our business in order to meet the need for first‑class, quality care and support for our ageing population. We now have four residential care homes for older people: Pendle Brook, Coniston House, Royley House and Bank Hall. We specialise in catering for the needs of those with dementia as well as offering a fantastic daycare service, flexible respite care facilities and a home care service providing support to people living independently in their own homes.
Exceptional care homes don’t stay special on their own. Our dedicated teams make sure every one of the people in our care has a great experience, every time. Our success relies on the professionalism, commitment and caring nature of each and every team member and we’re always looking for similar‑minded people to join us.
Rochcare is an encouraging and supportive company, we provide a comprehensive induction and training programme for both those with experience and those who are just starting out.
