Where you’ll work

 

The garden room is a light and airy space overlooking the grounds, where residents love to take part in all sorts of activities, from tai chi sessions to musical performances from the Worcestershire Association of Carers choir. Other visitors who always light up the room are toddlers from the local nursery. They visit regularly to treat residents to sneak previews of plays and musical performances and to play games. The garden room also boasts a vintage sweet cart, which is an added bonus for the children when they visit! The refurbished garden area looks splendid and is home to Juniper’s four chickens. They have been lovingly hand-reared by the residents, who watched them hatch right here in the home.
