We are looking for a caring, compassionate person to join our professional team at EM Homecare. We welcome applications from candidates with experience in care and also those looking for a new exciting and challenging vocation. Whatever your background, full training will be provided and you will have the opportunity to complete a diploma or apprenticeship in Health and Social Care. We offer flexible shifts, including some weekend work.
Our family run team has been supporting local people for 24 years and is dedicated to providing an exceptional service to people in their own home. We respect privacy and dignity and promote independence and choice in everything we do.
