About Us:

At Alexandra Care Home with Nursing, our priority is simple: to provide exceptional care in a warm, supportive environment.

Every day, we strive to make life comfortable, safe, meaningful for our residents, and rewarding for our team.

Our Values

We live by five core values: Curious, Proud, Passionate, Trustworthy, and Kind. These aren't just words, they guide how we support our residents, their families, and each other. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Supporting the growth of your team by identifying strengths, providing mentorship, and creating opportunities for professional development. Coaching team members through challenges and encouraging a culture of continuous learning. Managing rotas, team meetings, and supervisions so your team feels motivated, valued, and supported. Working with residents and families to create and adapt care plans that truly reflect individual needs. Ensuring we meet (and exceed) standards by carrying out audits and maintaining compliance with the CQC framework. Building strong, trusting relationships with residents, families, health professionals, and regulators. Overseeing safe and well-planned admissions.

The opportunity to mentor, coach, and shape a team that shares your passion for outstanding care.
