The philosophy of each of our nursing homes is to provide professional, skilled and empathetic individual care.

Security and peace of mind are vital when choosing a nursing home. With a Randolph Hill home, you can be sure that there is a strong, sound business behind the superb provision of care.

Working at Randolph Hill

We have low staff turnover against the industry average. Over one third of our staff have been with Randolph Hill for over 5 years.

We have a range of shift patterns available including early and late shifts (approx. 6 hours), long days (approx. 12 hours) or nights (approx. 10.5 hours). Full time staff are contracted to either 2, 3 or 4 days per week on a roster issued by our homes and require to be fully flexible to work across 7 days. This is to allow all permanent staff to have the same opportunity for weekends off.

A flexible Staff Bank is also in operation and is hugely successful. This type of contract is more suited for people who perhaps cannot commit to working across a full 7 days. It is particularly beneficial to staff who work around childcare arrangements or other work commitments, their partner’s work or may also be students. This is beneficial to the member of staff as they can pick up as much or as little work as required each week, flexibly and have the opportunity to work in more than one of our homes. It has been a huge benefit to Randolph Hill as our homes receive a far greater continuity of care with the same staff attending weekly rather than agency staff which can be disruptive with a number of different people who don’t know our residents as well.
