The best possible care for a great career
in Staffordshire and Shropshire
“It’s great because you are helping people to stay in their homes, being as independent as possible and enjoying familiar surroundings. Because I’m going into people’s homes I feel as though I’m playing a bigger part in their lives. I get to know their families, too. Recently I went to make a regular visit and there was a bunch of flowers waiting for me, from the lady and her daughter.” — Sally Rutty, carer

Working as part of our At Home service Our At Home care service has been recognised as one of the best in the country.

You are a huge part of people’s lives. You aren’t just making a difference, you are the difference. Often, you’re what makes it possible for them to live independently in their own home.

A great career We look for very special people to deliver our At Home care. We think those special people deserve a great career. For our carers, that means good pay and conditions. It means excellent training and opportunities for promotion. It means paid holidays and flexible hours to fit your life. The Care Plus difference is clear from the start. We pay for Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks and we provide your uniform. We will give you time and support to complete your Care Certificate, too. Work with us and you will experience a strong sense of teamwork, pride and support. Care Plus is a large organisation, working across Staffordshire and Shropshire. And we are part of Housing Plus Group, the largest social housing provider in the area with 12,000 properties and 600 employees. So we can offer more resources and opportunities.

And although you will be working in the homes of our customers, you are part of a team, with all the support you need.
“I was originally employed on the ‘bank’ team because the flexibility suited my life at the time. Later I moved onto a permanent contract and took on more responsibility as a team leader. Now I’m a care coordinator heading a team of 25 carers, with the training and support to succeed in my role.” — Amy Bardi, care coordinator
