Your Recruitment Journey
When you join the Premier Community family, you’re never on your own. From application to your first shift, a dedicated team supports you every step of the way.
The recruitment journey
Before you apply...
Before applying for care role with us, please make sure you meet the following essential requirements:
Driving Requirement
As many of our roles involve travelling, we do require all applicants to have a full UK Driving License and access to their own vehicle, as this will allow you to travel safely and independently between visits and respond flexibly to changing schedules or urgent needs.
Right to work in the UK
All applicants must already have the legal right to work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time.
If you can check these off our list, we’d love to hear from you and if you’re shortlisted our recruitment team will give you a call for an informal chat about the role.

What happens after you apply?
Applying for a new role, especially in care, can bring a mix of excitement and nerves. New faces, new expectations, and lots of unknowns. At Premier Community, we believe that how you’re welcomed makes all the difference. That’s why our recruitment and onboarding process is led by people who genuinely care, take time to listen, and support you every step of the way.
We’d love you to meet Troi, Molly and Dylan, the friendly, professional team who will guide you from your first conversation right through to starting your role. Click on each recruiter to find out a bit more about them and how they can help you on your journey.

Meet the trainers
Amanda Winnard
If you’re successful following your interview, you’ll be invited to join our bespoke training programme, created by Amanda, our Workforce Development Manager.
Amanda joined Premier Community as a carer in 2017. Throughout her time with us she has progressed in various roles and today she is the driving force behind all our specially curated in-house training programmes.
Amanda, alongside our trainer Sally ensures our care professionals are skilled, confident, and supported to deliver high-quality, compassionate care that enhances the independence and well-being of our clients.
Click on the video to hear directly from Amanda about her caring journey and her passion for developing the newest members of our family.
I started out 21 years ago working for Derbyshire County Council in Domiciliary care. I enjoyed every minute of it until things started to change, and I became unhappy in my role.
I knew I had to leave and started looking at reviews from other companies, but what drew me to Premier Community was the fact that it was a family-run business, and there was the opportunity to progress if I wanted to.
Lead Community Carer and Assistant Trainer
Meet the trainers
Sally Sheldon
Joining a company like Premier Community is about so much more than being just another carer; it’s about becoming part of our family and working somewhere that listens to, values, and nurtures our employees.
Lead Community Carer and Assistant Trainer Sally Sheldon joined us as a carer in March 2020.
Sally’s commitment to her service users and passion for helping others was evident from the start. Just one year later, she was promoted to Lead Community Carer. In this role, she offered support, help, and advice to other carers in her area and assisted with new package set-ups and reviews for our service users.
In 2023, Sally was given the opportunity to become our Assistant Trainer and now helps to deliver an engaging in-house training programme alongside our Workforce Development Manager, Amanda Winnard.
