About Heathside And The Mews


We support older people and people with dementia in our residential homes, Heathside and The Mews, either as a permanent new home or for short respite breaks. Heathside is our 37-bedroom residential home with a cozy and homely feel, and The Mews is our 25-bed home with a light, modern airy feel. Heathside and The Mews are just next door to one another and collaborate on many fun activities and outings, but each offers a different living experience to the residents. You can read more about each home on our website.

One thing they have in common, though, is the high level of care provided. Our approach is entirely built around the people we support, and we don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Everyone we support is different, so we take the time to get to know them and create a bespoke support plan and personalise everything - even down to how they like their morning routine.


A Day in the Life of an Elderly & Dementia Support Worker


In this role, your days are as varied as the individuals you care for. At the heart of our approach is person-centered planning, tailoring support to meet the unique needs of each person in your care. Equipped with comprehensive training and the unwavering support of your team, you'll provide a wide range of assistance, from personal care, to being a friendly presence in their day, respecting their individuality, celebrating life histories and supporting people in doing what they enjoy. Your dedication and compassionate care will create a sense of safety and comfort, empowering individuals to live their best lives.

As a charity, we do what we can to show our teams that we value them and the life-changing work they do, so we offer the following:

  • Welcome Bonus: You'll receive £500 as a warm welcome to the team. Not eligible if we pay to sponsor you to work in the UK
