Pembroke House is a purpose-built care home for veterans of the Royal Navy and
Royal Marines in Gillingham. We have been serving Royal Navy and Royal Marines
veterans and their dependants for over 70 years. Our residents and staff enjoy a
varied yet familiar way of life to encourage independence and give each day
meaning and purpose. The home has a ‘family-run’ feel and we have carefully
created a supportive, friendly and close-knit team, making it a unique and very
special place to work.
Our care is based on the principle of family.
There are no uniforms here, no task focussed schedules or roles. Here we are all one
team and when we step foot through the door, we become one family.
This role wont suit everyone. It is all about people, how they feel, how we want to
make them feel and valuing the individuality of each of our family members whether

We are looking for a manager who can not only adopt the principles of the Butterfly
Approach Model, but who can live it, breathe it and make it a reality for our teams,
residents and stakeholders. You have to share the vision. Be adaptable, friendly,
compassionate and above all kind.
Our basis for hiring for this role will be centred not just on capability and experience
but also on your approach, fit and shared vision for our goals and objectives. We
are looking for someone to come on the journey with us, who is looking for a long
term opportunity and who is happy to lean and grow with us!
