Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own Car?

Yes. As our care roles involve travelling between people’s homes, you’ll need access to your own reliable vehicle and hold a full, valid driving licence. This allows you to travel safely and provide consistent support to the people in our care.

Do I need business insurance on my car?

Yes. As you’ll be using your vehicle to travel between people’s homes as part of your role, you’ll need suitable business-use car insurance in place.

Do you offer visa sponsorship?

No, we do not currently offer visa sponsorship. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.

How far will I need to travel?

We always aim to keep travel between visits as local as possible. Wherever we can, we try to arrange care visits within approximately one mile of the people you support, helping to keep travelling time manageable and allowing you to build strong connections within your local community.

Do you offer uniform?

Yes. We provide the top half of your uniform, with a choice of tunics, polo shirts or scrub tops.

This job is by far the best one yet!

All of the staff are lovely, they always help and support you when you need it ,when I first started I felt so anxious and nervous but with their support it's made me how I am at work, feel so confident in what I do.
The training was so thorough.

They pay well, get paid for milage and they're so flexible with what days and hours you work.

The training at premier is second to none fantastic, there is always a care manager to hand if you need anything at all. The hardest part of the job is finding new service users accommodation but they have an app that helps.

The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting new service users they are lovely, and I enjoy helping other people.

Management are really nice they actually care about you and are always always at the end of the phone if you are worried or have any problems, over all they are the best care company I have ever worked for.
