Careers at J&E

Care is a craft. Come and practise it properly.

We are building a later-living community in Ibadan where residents are treated as people first, and where the people who care for them are given the time, training and respect to do the job well.

Why J&E

A team worth joining.

Every role at Joseph & Esther Homes exists for one reason: the people who live here. Skilled clinical care, meals worth sitting down to, a home that is safe and properly kept, and days in which residents feel cared for and valued. The job titles differ. The standard does not.

We have started hiring now because getting this right takes time. Every appointment goes through several rounds of interviews, because the difference between adequate care and excellent care is almost always the person delivering it.
