Working at St Monica Trust

About us

Since the Trust was founded we have been dedicated to enriching the lives of older people. Over 1,200 colleagues work hard together to continue and develop the ideals that Monica Wills had back in the 1920’s.

Thanks to the income we receive from our endowment fund we’ve made amazing things happen over the years. Today, we’re still as forward thinking and innovative as we’ve ever been.

We now deliver care and well-being in five retirement villages in and around the Bristol area. Our fifth, The Chocolate Quarter in Keynsham – on the site of the old Cadbury chocolate factory! Each of these villages is there to offer high quality care and support for older people in various stages of their life.

Yes, each village offers a care home or sheltered accommodation. But they also offer something much more valuable: independence. The villages have things like shops, a gym, a hairdresser, restaurants… everything to give our residents a real feeling of freedom and a good quality of life.

Why work with us?

You may be taking the first steps in your career. Or perhaps you already have lots of experience and fancy a move. Either way, it’s important to know we’re on the same page when it comes to what we believe.

There’s a real team spirit you just can’t ignore. Everyone mucks in and helps each other. Everyone is supported and rewarded. And everyone is encouraged to reach his or her potential through training. There’s a lot of talking, a lot of listening and a lot of learning together. If you think you'd make a good fit, get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.

The truth is, we’re a close-knit bunch. It’s definitely hard work, but our colleagues tell us it’s rewarding. We think Monica Wills would be very proud to hear that.
