A bit about us
Our mission is to help people keep their independence and wellbeing at home. We offer live-in and visiting care, and we specialise in dementia care, physical and mental disability care, and after-stroke care. Our care professionals complete a bespoke training course, are Dignity in Care registered, and our service is regulated by the CQC.
Before you apply, please note
We are not able to offer sponsorship of any kind, so you will need an existing right to work in the UK
A UK driving licence and your own vehicle are required, with business class 1 insurance
You will need a clear DBS check, which we pay for, and at least two references
For this role we are recruiting female Care Professionals only. This is a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, because the clients being supported have requested a female care professional for intimate personal care.

Apply and our recruitment team will be in touch within 24 hours. We arrange interviews quickly and you can start as soon as you are ready.
