Why work for us?
We spend so much time at work don’t we, so our ethos at Sanctuary Care is to enrich the lives of both our residents and staff.

The team at Cedar Court is special and we’re looking for a driven person to work alongside the Home Manager and lead by example. Become a part of it and apply for this role.
Where you’ll work
One of the home’s volunteers drives the minibus, so the activities team is never short of help when taking residents to places, including Seaham beach or a social club the gents like to visit. Here they can meet up with people from other residential and nursing care homes across Durham for a chat and games. Another popular spot some of the residents like to visit is the Herrington Country Park in Houghton-le-Spring. Cedar Court has its own hairdressing salon, which has a nail bar if residents fancy a manicure or hand massage. Our gents often like to visit to have their facial hair trimmed too. As well as the mobile hairdresser that visits each week, one of our care team was once a hairdresser, so if our residents have a wedding or family celebration, she makes sure their hair and make-up look their best..
You will have previous experience in a residential and/or nursing setting. You will need to be RN qualified, with an up to date NMC pin number.
