Vida Court, Harrogate.

A leading provider of dementia care based in Harrogate is recruiting for new people to join its team.

Vida Healthcare delivers care to the 200 residents living with dementia across its three ‘outstanding’ rated care homes. 

And the care provider is now seeking to recruit Care Assistants and Wellbeing Facilitators to add to its team of around 550.

Operating within Vida’s three care homes - Vida Court, Vida Grange and Vida Hall - employees deliver expert, dedicated dementia care, from early onset dementia care, residential, nursing and complex dementia care to Huntington's Disease care.

“This not only ensures daily fulfilment of resident needs but also offers opportunities for career advancement and the acquisition of essential caregiving skills.”
