We have an exciting opportunity to be part of our dedicated team who work together to look after the residents and operations at the historic, Hospital of St Cross.

If you have experience of working in the Care sector and are personable, patient, flexible and a team-player, this job is a fantastic opportunity.

The Hospital of St Cross is one of England’s oldest almhouses (in continuous use) and is home to 25 retired (lay) men, known as Brothers, and it is also open to visitors who can explore the impressive Norman Chapel, Tudor buildings and attractive gardens as well as enjoy tasty refreshments in our Hundred Men’s Hall (HMH) tearoom.

We are seeking to recruit an caring, flexible person to provide support and assistance to the Brothers at weekends.

The Assistant Warden works closely with the Brothers’ Warden (who is on duty Monday to Friday). Duties include monitoring and supporting residents, keeping records and assisting with light housekeeping duties. Experience of working with the elderly and first aid certificate holder (training provided) is essential.

All relevant compliance and safeguarding training will be provided
