Priory Adult Care is the UK’s leading independent provider of specialist adult care services. Our aim is to provide the right support in the right home for all the individuals we accommodate. With community-based residential care settings, as well as a network of supported living services, we support adults over the age of 18 with autism, dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), and behaviours that challenge. We also offer a range of residential and nursing care settings for older people with varying levels of need.
At Priory, you'll have the opportunity to be part of something special: a close-knit, supportive, and diverse team who help to make a real difference to people’s lives.
We offer full training and numerous career pathways, including our Nursing in healthcare.
Our roles can be flexible around your lifestyle, either full or part-time, with a variety of shift patterns including weekdays and weekends.
Your positive attitude and passion for providing high-quality care and support will be your key strengths. You should be friendly, patient, and positive, keen to learn and show compassion in caring for the people we support.

It would be ideal if you have previous experience in a similar role. However, while this is valuable, we are looking for individuals who display the right values and behaviours to make a difference to people’s lives. You should be confident and upbeat, eager to learn, and compassionate.

Additional Information:
St Michaels is located in the village of Temple Ewell, near Dover, Kent. The residential service supports five adults who are autistic or have a learning disability. We are in a semi-rural location, off a main road. Our team is dedicated to supporting the people we care for to maximise their potential and work towards reducing the restrictions that they currently have in place. We want to help them to maximise their independence and support them on their long transitional pathway towards living in their own home in the community.
