The ambassadors deliver their role with passion and enthusiasm and are well placed to dispel the negative myths so often associated with this sector.

This years Career in Care recruitment fair is sponsored by Pine Martin Grange a new care in Wareham. Part of Mayflower Care Communities, their vision is to create homes that they would want to live in.

They aim to make life fun and comfortable, creating places that family and friends will look forward to visiting. Their all-inclusive service means that you can have your hair done regularly, host dinner parties or Sunday lunch, enjoy drinks in the bar, be chauffeur driven into town or have a barbeque in the garden.

A spokesperson said: "Our homes have amazing facilities but the one thing that makes a care home exceptional is the people. At Mayflower, we take pride in our staff and only recruit people who share our vision - people who you enjoy spending time with and who enjoy spending time with you. We incorporate our values into all that we do: compassion, dignity, inclusion, trust and respect."
