The RNBT has a ‘family‑run’ feel and we have carefully created a supportive, friendly and close‑knit team making it a unique and very special place to work.
Admiral Jellicoe House is a purpose‑built 66 bed care home for veterans and spouses of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines in Portsmouth which opened in June 2022. Our residents and staff enjoy a varied yet familiar way of life to encourage independence and give each day meaning and purpose.
Working with Meaningful Care Matters, we have started to implement the Butterfly approach of care, where we are one family at Admiral Jellicoe House.
