La Fontana Dementia Nursing Home is nestled on the outskirts of Martock, surrounded by the stunning Somerset countryside. This innovative, purpose-built home provides specialist Dementia and Nursing care for up to 76 residents.

At La Fontana, we believe care is more than just a job – it’s about creating moments of joy, dignity, and comfort for the people who call our home their own. With a new Manager and a fresh vision, we’re looking for kind, compassionate people to join our team of Care Assistants and help us shape an environment where residents truly thrive.

“Where every shift is a chance to brighten someone’s day”.

• No two days are the same, but every day you’ll make a genuine difference.
• You will:
• Support residents with daily routines, from personal care to shared activities.
• Encourage independence and celebrate the small achievements.
• Create a warm, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels respected and valued.
• Build meaningful connections with residents, families, and colleagues.
• Be part of a supportive team that looks after one another as well as those we care for.

• £12.21 per hour plus an additional £2 per hour for overtime.
• Full-time or part-time contracts.
• Paid DBS check, uniform provided, onsite parking.
• Pension scheme and 5.6 weeks annual leave (pro rata).
• Dementia Care, NVQ training and ongoing development opportunities.

• You don’t need care experience, just patience, kindness, and a genuine desire to help others.
• NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care is an advantage, but not essential.
• Most importantly, you will live our values:
  Trust, Respect, Passion, Kindness, Inclusivity.

La Fontana is part of Care Concern Group, a family-owned provider with over 130 care homes across the UK. We are committed to giving residents the very best quality of life and we know that starts with supporting and valuing our staff.
