Job Description

Our home care service is one of just 4% in England, rated as "Outstanding" and our Carers support adults in their own homes.

And we're rated by Workbuzz in 2025 as a 5-star employer! One of our team said recently:

"This is the best company I've ever worked for. Claire is so kind and understanding and hard working, and so are all the ladies inthe office. Genuinely I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm so impressed by how well everything is run and how much support I have from the team. I love it. 100% recommend RAH every day of the week"

We currently require caring individuals to support our clients. We match our Carers to their clients, and brief our Carers before they meet a client - this is just one of the ways we're supportive to our team. Read on! ...
