Active Care Group's Care in the Home division continues to go from strength to strength ensuring we provide safe, reliable, and outcome-based care to all clients by our exceptional support workers, clinicians, and management team.

Our Care in the Home business is growing across Sidmouth! We have exciting plans for our Care in the Home business across Sidmouth and we would like to hear from experienced, highly motivated, and proactive Support Workers to support clients in their homes across Sidmouth.

During this time, you will have both face-to-face training with our clinicians and complete online courses to ensure you fully understand your role and are confident with ongoing support afterwards.
Our Clients: Our care in the home services support children, young people, and adults with a wide range of conditions, including brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurological conditions and neurodegenerative diseases, respiratory conditions, and gastro-intestinal conditions, including percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) feeding. We don't just look after the clinical needs of the people we support; we look after the whole person. We pride ourselves on the fact our care extends beyond the individual to their wider family and friends, as we understand the wider impact complex conditions can have.
