Working at Abbeyfield

Abbeyfield provides community living accommodation for elderly people.  It is our mission to enhance the quality of life for our residents through excellent accommodation in a stimulating environment to help maintain a socially active life.

We have around 1,500 employees within our centrally managed service, plus a further 3,000 staff working in our Member Societies throughout the UK.  We run a varied mix of Sheltered Housing, Care Homes, Independent Living with Care and Extra Care schemes across England.

We have a Head Office, based in St Albans, consisting of central support functions (HR, Finance, Marketing, Audit & Compliance, Health & Safety).  The operation is run out of 3 regions; East, North and West.

Abbeyfield is more than a home; it’s a neighbourhood, a community, a family. Our core behaviours are to be welcoming to everyone, celebrate the positives, work collaboratively, take responsibility, and be adaptable to changing circumstances.

Best of all, we’re a charity, meaning that the interests of our valued staff and residents sit at the heart of what we do, not shareholders.

At Abbeyfield we make time for our residents, and enhance their lives by bringing everyone together in homely and friendly houses that have established great links within their community. This has been our mission for over 60 years and remains at the core of what we stand for today.

Everyone is welcome at Abbeyfield. Wherever you find us, you’ll find we’re warm, open and friendly. Community is at the heart of Abbeyfield, where people come together to share meals, company, and enjoy life. Abbeyfield is more than a home, it’s a neighbourhood, a community, a family.

At Abbeyfield, we believe that great care starts with great people and we’re always keen to hear from those who share our commitment to enhancing the lives of older people in the UK.

From carers to house managers, activities coordinators to cooks, plus roles in our St Albans head office, Abbeyfield has a varied range of career options available. We offer a range of flexible contracts and excellent benefits. But not only that, when you join the Abbeyfield Family you'll join a team of dedicated, friendly, professional and caring people.
