WORKING WITH US

We are fortunate to have built a dedicated, hardworking, closely knit team of Care Assistants, but we need more of them! Every day is different when you work in Care, but one thing that remains the same, day in and day out, is the commitment and dedication of our staff who always aim to make a difference to the lives of our service users. Ensuring that our service users and their families feel safe, respected and confident in the quality of care provided is all in a days work.

However, this is only possible when our carers feel valued and supported themselves. We listen to our staff, and always try to implement any suggestions they may make which will make their lives better and easier and improve the level of service which we offer. We are therefore always looking for caring, compassionate and consistent people to join our team. People who are as passionate as we are in helping people to live their lives to their full potential.

We are happy to recruit people who are able to work either full time or part time.
