Hello and welcome to Benoni!
We provide accommodation for persons who require personal care, have dementia, physical disabilities, require treatment of disease, disorder or injury, caring for adults over 65 years. We pride ourselves on our happy, relaxed environment, and our beautiful location near the sea in Cornwall, striving to create a “home from home”.
We are a small independent home that supports up to 25 individuals, with strong ties to our local community. At Benoni, we focus on what matters to our residents, considering the best possible methods to enrich and support their lives, integrating many homeopathic treatments alongside conventional western practice. These include, but are not limited to, reiki, aromatherapy, meditation, and reminiscence therapy.
We are looking for individuals who:
Are compassionate and have a desire to support the wellbeing of others
Have an enthusiastic approach to work and are seeking new challenges
All staff are supported during induction by our team leaders and will be allocated a mentor/buddy to support a smooth transition into our team. Experience is not essential as full training will be provided. All you need is a willingness and enthusiasm to offer care and support.
For further information, please get in touch. We hope to speak to you soon.
