A Unique Career

Nightingale Hammerson comprises two care homes, Nightingale House in Balham and Hammerson House, in East Finchley.

We are an independent charity that has been serving older members of the Jewish community for over 180 years.

Our homes offer individually-tailored, compassionate care for residential, nursing, dementia, respite and palliative care.

At the heart of our approach is a warm, respectful relationship between our staff and every single resident. It’s what we mean by ‘relationship-centred care’, whereby we acknowledge the individual wishes, characters and histories of everyone we look after, their families and the care team involved with each person’s individual care.

Hammerson House, opened in May 2021 and is a truly innovative and beautiful home and an inspiring place to work.

It is a very exciting time to be joining the team at Nightingale Hammerson.
