ABOUT US

At Bandrum, our residents are at the heart of what we do.

We are an independently owned, family-run nursing home set within 19 acres of peaceful woodland.

We are committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care that is rooted in compassion, dignity and respect. Our approach is built on truly knowing everyone — understanding their life story, preferences, abilities and aspirations — and tailoring care and support to meet their unique needs.

Behind the care we provide is a wider team responsible for ensuring our systems, information and processes support the safe and effective running of the organisation.

When you join us, you will become part of a supportive team who all share the same goal – providing the best possible care for our residents.

• Keeping company vehicles clean and presentable
• Reporting any maintenance issues, incidents or concerns to the Estates Manager
• Maintaining appropriate records and completing required training
• Supporting the wider team with additional practical tasks as required
