Why Forest Healthcare?

People join us for different reasons; many of our staff have a vocation for caring or want to use their experience to shape the future of care services.

Our philosophy of care values encourages staff to get the best out of themselves. We employ people in a variety of roles including centre managers, nurses, carers, administrators, catering staff, activity organisers, maintenance personnel and housekeeping staff.

Forest Healthcare is an equal opportunities employer and appoints solely on the basis of ability.

Forest Healthcare is one of the leading regional providers of Care Centres in the South East of England. With 750 beds and over 800 staff, we are one of the fastest-growing healthcare companies in the UK.

Our staff are central to the quality of care we offer to our service users and their families. Our ambitious growth plans depend on attracting and retaining the very best individuals to our team. That’s why we see recruitment as so important.

Being a successful healthcare provider is a challenge - and everyone here has a part to play. We need people that can make things happen and do the right thing for every one of our service users.

You might think we're expecting a lot. You’d be right. But in return we’ll make Forest a company you’ll be proud to be part of.

We strive to ensure that members of staff have every opportunity to reach their full potential.

From day one with us we will focus on helping you develop the skills you need to progress in your chosen career. Our supportive management structure promotes an environment of coaching, networking and mentoring to give you all the help and guidance you need.

If you are joining us as part of our care team your induction programme will meet all of the requirements of the Skills for Care standards. Once you have finished this training you can then move on to other vocational training programmes.

At Forest Healthcare there is a host of different opportunities on offer. Of course it is up to you to make the most of them. But once you’ve decided on your direction we will give you all the support you need to get there.
