• Bonus and referral schemes
• We invest in everyone and give full pay in between calls whilst travelling, so no valuable time with the clients is lost and you are not under pressure.
• You will see regular clients at regular times and work locally – so no long commutes.
• We also offer the opportunity to extend your learning with a level 3 or level 5 NVQ in Health and Social Care.
• We won Employer of the year and Overall Winner at the Bucks 2021 SME awards and have been ranked in the top 20 home care providers by homecare.co.uk, so you will be joining a company with a fantastic reputation.
