UKHCA QUALITY  HOME CARE

Find a job as a homecare worker

The Department of Health’s recruitment campaign for social care begins on 1st March 2008 and UKHCA is pleased to be working with the Department in promoting the campaign.

The campaign is being hosted on the website www.socialworkandcare.co.uk and also has a national helpline 0845 604 6404.

We will update this website with more information as the campaign progresses. You can download the most recent bulletin on the campaign and past bulletins which include information on top tips on recruitment from UKHCA member Care 4 You, winners of the Skills for Care Accolade 2007 for most innovative and effective recruitment initiative.

An employer's resource pack is also available.

Providing care to people in their own homes is a rewarding and fulfilling career and the people who train to become homecare workers tell us that the most important factors in their work are:

  • Building relationships with the people they care for
  • Working for good managers
  • Receiving training to do their job well
  • Having the flexibility to help people to receive the care they want.[1]

Use this page to find contact details for employers in your local area, by selecting one of the following options:

A list of 'live-in' providers is also available.

All the companies listed on this website are members of UKHCA and have agreed to comply with our Code of Practice, which encourages the highest standards of service to people who use homecare. You can find out more about UKHCA and what we do from this site.

All homecare agencies acting as employers are required to give their staff a minimum of three days of training before new care workers are allowed to work without supervision. They will also help their staff complete a recognised qualification in care within two and a half years of joining a homecare agency.

The team at UKHCA hope you find a job that you will enjoy with one of the employers listed on this website.
