Where you'll work

Run by passionate and dedicated manager Lynda Schofield, who is described as "Bradwell Court through and through", it's easy to see why this care home is so well regarded in the Congleton community.

Our care home choir, which we have aptly named 'Can sing – can't sing', has been the most fantastic introduction to the home.

It began just a few months ago but every single Tuesday at 11am, the entire home stops for practice – with every member of staff and every resident joining in!

We are not going to give any choir in Congleton, or even Cheshire a run for their money – but the sheer joy everyone gets from singing together at the tops of their voices is simply magical!

As a Care Team Leader, you will look after the day-to-day needs of our residents, whilst showing compassion, care and commitment to having a positive impact on their lives.
