The UK’s leading provider of dementia care, Vida Healthcare, is inviting individuals to join
its 550-strong team to deliver exceptional care to the 200 residents living with dementia
across its three outstanding-rated care homes in North Yorkshire. The care provider seeks
to recruit Care Assistants and Wellbeing Facilitators to fulfil these vital roles.
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.
Vida’s commitment to investing in creating better care for people living with dementia has
resulted in all three care homes receiving an Outstanding rating from the Care Quality
Commission (CQC), establishing Vida Healthcare as the only specialist dementia care
provider in the District of Harrogate with such recognition.
James Rycroft, Managing Director at Vida Healthcare, said: “Vida Healthcare is an
exceptional place to work. We are looking for individuals who embody compassion and
kindness and align with our values of delivering the highest quality, consistent care to join
our team. By selecting the right candidates, we can meet the residents’ personal care
needs while upholding their dignity and fostering independence.
“At Vida, we recognise our staff as our most valuable asset and prioritise their professional
growth through tailored training programmes, such as the Vida Academy. This not only
ensures daily fulfilment of resident needs but also offers opportunities for career advancement and the acquisition of essential caregiving skills.”
While previous knowledge and experience in dementia care is desirable, Vida Healthcare
recognises the importance of ongoing training and development for its staff. With
initiatives promoting staff retention, attracting new talent and ensuring the best quality of
care, Vida Healthcare’s commitment to its employees is evident through its bespoke
training facility, the Vida Academy. The academy offers specialised programmes tailored
to individual needs, supporting long-term employee growth and career advancement. By
establishing staff as dementia ambassadors, Vida Healthcare promotes lifelong learning
and excellence in dementia care across the organisation.
Vida Healthcare is committed to expanding its care provisions to include those living with
Huntington’s Disease, alongside its ongoing dementia care recruitment efforts at Vida
Court and Vida Grange.
“As part of our dedication to enhancing care for people with dementia, our long-term
mission is to further strengthen our team of compassionate and skilled care workers”
continues James, “We’re also focused on developing the team at our specialist
Huntington’s Disease House, aiming to provide a higher level of care that encourages
residents’ independence while providing a homely living environment. This ensures our
residents receive the highest quality of care, with the ultimate aim of enhancing their
quality of life.”
Vida Healthcare’s dedication to employee training and development has led to an
impressive 97 percent staff retention rate, far exceeding the national care industry
average of 71 percent1. As a family-run business, Vida prioritises its values and offers a
range of benefits including cycle-to-work schemes, Blue Light Cards and healthcare plans.
