In joining us, you’ll also become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our schemes.

Within each housing scheme our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks and activities.

Moorside Place is situated in a peaceful residential area off Moors Road in Kidlington, with the convenience of the local shopping facilities in the village. It is also only five miles north of Oxford with easily accessible bus and road links to the city centre.
