Where caring comes to life
Working in specialist care is incredibly rewarding. We seek the right people to join our enthusiastic team; those who take pride in their work, align to our values and truly want to make a difference to the everyday lives of people living with complex needs.
Working at Cornerstone
Cornerstone offer a wide range of careers in health, from caring, nursing and mental health nursing roles, to management and non resident-facing roles. You’ll be part of a vibrant team that thrives on empathy, professionalism, and respect, ensuring everyone feels valued and cared for whether you are a staff member or a resident.
Our industry-busting staff retention rates are a testament to our supportive culture meaning we can provide consistency of staffing to our residents, offering a truly person-centred approach. Our staff to resident ratios may be higher than other care homes but this allows us to care for a higher complexity of need in an environment that is as minimally restrictive as possible.
The Special Role of the Healthcare Assistant
A career in care can be one of the most rewarding jobs but it can also be challenging. At Cornerstone Healthcare we provide care for individuals with complex needs and that brings its own requirements in terms of the skills of our team.
Listen to our CEO, Paul Hayes, who himself started his career working in a care home, as he chats to members of our care team about the special role of the Healthcare Assistant and the attributes that are most important.

The Cornerstone Academy
At Cornerstone, we believe that the quality of the care we deliver, and the success of our Group are directly dependent on the people who work here. Happy, well-trained colleagues who have the opportunity to be challenged, developed, and progress in their careers with us, are our priority.
We have developed the Cornerstone Careers Academy programmes so that all Cornerstone colleagues have a clear understanding of the career development available to them and how they can progress towards their career aspirations.
Grow your career with confidence
We understand that there will be people in our organisation who want to progress in their careers and achieve their ambitions.
We also recognise that climbing the career ladder is not for everyone, and that some colleagues wish to come to work and simply be the best they can be, in the role they’re in.
Our various Academy Programmes ensure all colleagues have the competence and confidence to grow and progress. Each career progression pathway provides learning at all leadership levels, perfect for those who want to be the best they can in their current role, or to progress into a new one.
Everybody who starts at Cornerstone completes the Level 1 programme, as part of their induction process. From Level 2, the programme uses a variety of learning components:
- Masterclasses
- Group Coaching or Action Learning
- Shadowing and Acting Up Opportunities
- Work based project
"The Cornerstone Academy has been truly transformational. The experience has equipped me with practical skills and powerful insights...it has significantly shaped how I approach responsibility, accountability, and team wellbeing.”
