About You

With a relevant hairdressing qualification, you will already have experience of working as a Hairdresser, and an understanding of working with older people and their particular hairdressing needs. Many of our residents enjoy the social aspect of visiting the salon so you must be friendly, kind, sociable and enjoy conversation. Patience and kindness towards our residents living with dementia is essential. You'll be fully literate in English, an effective communicator and will share our goal of delivering excellence in person-centred care.
