At Elstow Manor, our Care Assistants are called Homemakers. More than support workers, care assistants or healthcare assistants - they are carers and companions all in one. They have the time to get to know our residents and are trusted to give each person the care they need, in the way they like. Joining us at Elstow Manor, our luxury care home that provides residential, dementia, and nursing care for older people, you'll be part of a team that is genuinely passionate about the health and well-being of our residents.

A Homemaker is a unique caring role for a unique person, where you can care with a difference. A varied role where no two days are the same. Homemakers, our name for care assistants, care for individual people in the way a family member might care for someone in their home. We don't do timetabled task-based care - we care for each individual in the way that works best for them. Whether that's administering medication, helping make someone's bed, arranging a family meal with their loved ones or taking them to the beauty salon, you'll always be doing something different. Our Homemakers focus on the tiny details that make our residents unique, and tailor care to each and every individual. A chance to make a real difference to our residents' lives. Often healthcare assistants, care assistants and domiciliary care assistants find they don't get to spend enough time with the people they care for to make a real difference. Not at Hamberley. As a Homemaker you have fewer people to care for, but you spend more time with them. It's a more satisfying and fulfilling role that is better for our residents. That's why the model has won awards.
