50 jobs to be created at Notts care home

A new care home in Sutton-in-Ashfield will create more than 50 new jobs when it opens in April this year.

Kingfisher Court, located on Kingfisher Way, will provide residential and dementia care for 66 elderly people. The home will open in April following the completion of an induction and training programme for the staff team.

The home has been built by LNT Care Developments and will be run by Oakdale Care Group.

Co-Founder of Oakdale Care Group, Chris Babington, said: “We are really keen to promote care as a positive career choice and hope to see the people who come to work at Kingfisher Court progress within their careers by providing great care to the people who will live with us”.

The new staff team will be led by home manager, Paul Quirk, who said: “It is really exciting to set up and manage a new home with responsibility for recruiting a full team of new staff.

“Myself, Chris and everyone at Oakdale are incredibly passionate about care and I am certain we will find the right people to make Kingfisher Court a home from home for the people who live with us and, also a key part of the local community.”
