Care Team Lead-Night duty

The Home

Oak Tree Manor is a beautiful, modern care and nursing home in Dunmurry, Lisburn. Enjoying a quiet location with lovely views, this bright and spacious residence offers professional, person-centred care for people over the age of 65, including those living with dementia, requiring nursing or palliative attention.

We create a comfortable home-from-home environment, where residents can feel safe and relaxed. The facilities available within the home are designed to enable residents to be as independent as possible, with the benefit of 24 hour support and care around the clock.

Offering an optimal care and wellbeing service, you can expect our kind and compassionate carers and nurses, who are highly-trained and experienced, to truly listen to our residents’ individual needs and wishes, and follow their bespoke care plans. Plus, our whole team approach to wellbeing means that everyone feels part of our lovely, welcoming community. 

The accommodation at Oak Tree Manor features attractively decorated and beautifully furnished private bedrooms, complete with en suite bathrooms and pleasant views. Residents are very welcome to bring their own home accessories and furniture, to personalise their space and make it their home.
