Care Home Open Week is here! 💜

Belong Birkdale is opening later this year. For now, all Belong villages are hosting their communities for special activities, personal tours and meet and greets. 👋

Those interested in working for a Gold Investors In People employer can have an informal chat with management and hear from our wonderful colleagues what it's like working here.

If you can't make this week, remember the village centres and the Belong at Home hub are always open to the community.
