The company, now boasting a team of some 60 highly trained care and office based staff, which support 100+ older and disabled adults living in their own homes, is taking on 12 new care staff to meet the increasing demand for its services.

The news comes after the business was accredited as a Living Wage Employer in recognition of paying staff a wage that exceeds the cost of living and meets every day needs - like the weekly shop, or a surprise trip to the dentist.
