The Orders of St John Care Trust

Who we are

At OSJCT you’ll enjoy great career development while working as part of an expanding not for profit care organisation that puts residents’ wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.

Diverse range of roles

Being a large care provider means we offer an incredible range of careers. Employing over 4,000 people in our homes and extra care housing schemes, roles range from nurses and carers to housekeepers and chefs. On top of that, we offer numerous roles in support functions, like Marketing, IT or Finance.

We've grown significantly since we started caring for residents more than 20 years ago and now we need more people with the right mix of skills, passion and ambition to help us grow even more.

Don’t worry if you’re new to care – we’ll provide training and development before you start.

Great training and development

We’re proud to offer excellent training and development and nationally recognised qualifications – it means we can help you take the next step and pursue the career you want.

Why being a charity matters

Because we’re a ‘not for profit’ organisation, we invest every penny we make in the people who live in our homes and the people who work here too. This means better quality care and lovely homes for our residents, along with competitive pay and benefits and great training and development for our people.

We’re currently modernising our portfolio of care homes – refurbishing our existing properties and also building new inspiring, contemporary care homes.

Most importantly, we provide outstanding care, working closely with leading experts on dementia and elderly care.

Special roles for nurses

Nurses at OSJCT enjoy a great deal of autonomy and responsibility. You’ll often take on leadership roles while continually role modelling ways of working. You’ll also enjoy seeing the daily impact you’re having on the home and the health and happiness of our residents. We will support you with your continued professional development, making sure your skills and knowledge are up to date while helping you reach your full potential.

Friendly environment

At OSJCT we care about our residents and we care about each other. At each of our care homes, you’ll find a friendly, inclusive, welcoming environment. And binding all our 4000 plus employees together right up and down the country are OSJCT’s five heartfelt values, which put our residents firmly at the heart of everything we do. You can read them in full at OSJCT values.  Our Values also underpin all our employment policies, so you can be reassured that our recruitment processes are transparent and fair.  You can read our Equal Opportunities Statement here.
