It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

Fessey House is not your “traditional” care home. Our 68-bed home comprises 6 individual purpose-built units, each of which include a kitchen, lounge, and dining room.

Our service users are aged 65+, all with cognitive impairment such as Dementia. It is a unique, modern environment, recently extended, with vast landscaped gardens and communal activity rooms for our residents to enjoy.

Experience of working with elderly people either formal or informal is essential, along with an awareness of Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards.

About us
Fessey House aims to provide a supported living environment where older people can feel safe, secure, and free to live their lives as independently as possible.

Privacy, dignity, and the right to make choices are paramount in our approach to providing the highest quality service for those who choose to make Fessey House their home.

The service we provide is designed to meet the needs of each individual, allowing them to maintain as much control over their own lives as possible.

Shift patterns include “earlies” (8:00am start), “lates” (9:30pm finish), or “nights” (9:30pm to 8:00am) on a rolling 2-week rota with a requirement to work every other weekend.

Fessey House is located on Brookdene in Haydon Wick, easily accessible by bus.

You will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.

Benefits include free on-site parking, generous holiday entitlement, comprehensive Learning and Development programmes, local government pension, sickness schemes, and staff discounts. Employee Assistance Programme is also available.
