The Sandstone vision is to provide its residents and staff with the opportunity to live and work in high-quality, modern and dynamic environments, in which our residents and their loved ones can relax, enjoy and call their own home.
We have an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and hardworking individual to join our team at The Oaks Care Home, part of the Sandstone Care Group. Located in Newtown, Powys, our state-of-the-art, purpose-built nursing and residential home provides exceptional care to residents in a luxurious setting. Opened in January 2020, this 73-bed home features a coffee shop / bistro, hair and nail salon, separate dining and lounge areas, activities room, and landscaped gardens. With cutting-edge care planning and nurse-call technology, we offer unrivalled standards of care.
As A Maintenance Operative At Our Home, Your Role Would Involve:
The post-holder will assume responsibility for assisting in providing a safe, secure and attractive environment for our residents by carrying out routine, planned and responsive maintenance for the Home as required.
You will be expected to ensure the upkeep and maintenance of all internal areas of the Home, as well as tending to the gardens, car park and all other external spaces. There will also be a requirement to carry out regular health and safety checks and document these checks accurately and consistently.

The ability to show initiative and excellent troubleshooting skills are key requirements of this role, as there will at times be a need to provide and/or source solutions to maintenance issues arising at short notice.

Having spent many years operating and managing care homes throughout the UK on behalf of others through our management company Caresolve, we are excited and privileged to have the opportunity to utilise the vast experience we have gained to operate our own homes, as the Sandstone Care Group. Our vision is to rapidly develop a fantastic, unrivalled reputation for delivering exceptional standards of care. In 2020, we opened the Oaks Care Home, a purpose-built, 73-bed luxury nursing and residential home in Newtown, Powys. We then added three existing care homes – St Helens Hall & Lodge, Longridge Hall & Lodge and Fleetwood Hall – to our portfolio of homes. We welcomed a second new care home in Merseyside to the Group in 2021. Our newest purpose-built luxury care home is Ribble Court Care Home in Much Hoole, near Preston. Our high quality and purpose built home offers a mix of luxury residential care and specialist/complex nursing care.
