Bennett Court is part of Exemplar Health Care, a leading provider of nursing care for adults living with complex and high‑acuity needs.

We support adults with complex mental health needs and neuro‑disabilities, including Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, and also provide separate supported living facilities that allow people to lead more independent lives.

In addition to stable and secure employment, we offer excellent benefits, perks, and abundant opportunities for learning, development, and progression.

You should also:

• Be caring, kind, understanding and calm
• Be able to deal with, and defuse, challenging situations
• Be energetic and outgoing, with a positive, can‑do attitude
• Be a great listener and communicator

You will put people at the heart of everything you do. If you have not worked in the care sector before, we will support you from day one with induction, buddy and ongoing training programmes.
