We are a caring and compassionate, family-owned care home company. At Kingsley, family matters, and we’re always going the extra mile in caring for every one of our residents and staff.
We’re a family-owned national care home operator, rated as one of the UK’s top 20 large care home groups by carehome.co.uk. As an accredited Living Wage employer, we not only offer competitive rates of pay, but we’ll also pay for your full DBS disclosure and offer you a welcome bonus. So, as well as receiving a competitive rate of pay, you’ll also receive a pay rise in line with inflation.
We’re more than just a group of colleagues; we’re a family passionate about people, from those we work with to those we care for. We’d love to welcome like-minded professionals to join the friendly faces that make up the Kingsley family.
