To be honest I had moved around several jobs, but never found them to be very rewarding. I had cared for my Granny and really enjoyed it, but it wasn’t until I met Premier Homecare I realised I could start to make a career out of caring.

Realistically, being a care worker isn't for everyone. Yes, it's demanding and yes, it's not as comfortable and easy as a dull 9-5. It takes a special kind of person to really shine as a carer but when you do the rewards are way beyond your average 9-5 job.

With so many ‘bad press’ stories about care companies, it can be a big gamble making sure you choose a care company who deliver professional care – the sort of care you’d want for your own mum, dad, grandparents or other relative or friend.

Following the introduction of a new attendance incentive scheme, over 90% of Premier Homecare carers will receive an extra payment in their July wages.
