For us, home is where the heart is. And we have the privilege of caring for over 6,000 people in our care homes. We treat every single resident as family. A caring and empathetic nature, always with a smile, is a must. So if this sounds like you, we'll help you flourish. You’ll have the chance to make a real difference, every day.
What’s life like working in care?
Working in care is a calling. While it can be physically and emotionally demanding, that’s what makes it so rewarding. You’ll make residents your top priority and go the extra mile to put a smile on their face. Not only will the residents become part of your life, you’ll become part of theirs. The relationships you make with residents are ones to remember for a lifetime.
So how I would treat my parents, that's how I would treat residents, to make sure that they’re happy in their environment.
If I know they’re ok I can leave them and think, wow, I've done my bit and they're ok they’re all fine and happy because I'm involved in it all the time it makes me feel like I am part of the family.
What are the benefits of working for a Bupa care home?

Our culture and environment
Our #NeverTooLate campaign encourages our people to go further for residents. For example transforming a care home into a live jazz venue. Or organising flying experiences for RAF veterans. Our teams have even helped a resident cross a half-marathon finish line. What will you do?

I wanted to do something rewarding, something that was for other people. There are a lot of vulnerable people out there that need support – that need our support. To work in a place that is so fulfilling, making a difference to people’s lives on a daily basis, is just amazing."

“I treat residents like they were my own parents. I’m involved in their lives all the time. So it makes me feel like I am part of the family. Everyday brings something new in a care home, pulling on all sorts of emotions throughout the week, and I wouldn’t change it for the world."

“I used to work in sales but moved to the area and wanted something that would make me smile and enjoy my work. Now I work in a happy place where I want to be every day; the residents make me smile, it’s as simple as that! I honestly wouldn’t want to be anywhere else."
