Overview

Thornfield Care Home is situated on the outskirts of the lovely seaside town of Seaton, located on the world-famous Jurassic Coast. Thornfield Care Home is registered for 52 residents. We are looking for a special person who truly believes in bringing joy and sunshine into our residents\’ lives every day. With a genuine passion for the older generation, we seek someone who is sociable, creative, fun-loving and well-organised.

We are expanding rapidly and are committed to delivering high-quality care and support. Our five core values guide everything we do: Trust | Respect | Passion | Kindness | Inclusivity.
