Why Farway
Small enough to know everyone
Farway Grange has been a family-run home in Bournemouth since 1986, and it is still run by the same family, now the next generation. We look after 35 residents across two neighbouring houses on Howard Road: The Alexandra, our residential home, and our nursing home at 31–33.
Because we are small, everyone who works here gets to know every resident by name, their routines and the little things that matter to them. You will not be a number on a rota, and the people you work for are just along the corridor.
Many of our team have been with us a long time; our longest-serving colleague first joined in 1999. We think that says more about working here than anything we could write.

The roles
Care is a team effort
We offer roles in both nursing care and residential care for older people. Everyone here plays a part in a resident’s day, not only the people in uniform.
Carers
Care assistant and senior carer roles, day and night, at either home. The heart of what we do.
Nurses
Registered nurses for our nursing home at 31–33 Howard Road, where a nurse is on duty around the clock.
Kitchen
Our meals are cooked here every day, and residents choose on the day. The kitchen team makes that happen.
Housekeeping
Keeping rooms and shared spaces clean, comfortable and homely, and residents’ belongings cared for.
Activities
Helping residents carry on having a life outside the home, and plenty within it: outings, the garden and everyday company.
New to care?
For care roles you don’t need experience, just the right mindset. If you are a good fit, we will give you the training you need to start.
We do not list vacancies on this website. Please get in touch to ask what is open at the moment.
