We are recruiting for Full Time and Part Time, Permanent and Temporary team members.

Halwill Manor Nursing Home is an independent, family run nursing home based in the Devonshire countryside between Holsworthy and Okehampton.

Our focus is on quality of life for the residents, promoting dignity and respect and encouraging independence as much as possible to improve people’s wellbeing.
