Important Information
Norwood House is in a rural location near Saxmundham, Suffolk, and getting here without your own transport is genuinely difficult.
- There are no direct public transport links to the Home
- The nearest train station is approximately a 30-minute walk away
- There are no direct bus services to the site.
If you have reliable transport though, you'll find a quieter, close-knit home where you're never just a number - and a team that will make sure you feel supported from your very first shift.
