Careers at Elmes Homecare
Caring is one of the most rewarding jobs there is — and the right employer makes all the difference. We’re a small, family-run team offering care jobs across Bromley and south Croydon, where people stay for years — because we value our carers, invest in them properly, and treat them the way we’d want our own family looked after.
Why work with us
We ask a lot of our carers, so we make sure the support and rewards match. Here’s what you can expect as part of the Elmes Homecare team:
Full training provided
All your training is provided and paid for — whatever your experience, we’ll give you the skills and confidence to deliver great care.
DBS paid for
We cover the cost of your enhanced DBS check — no charge to you.
Uniform & PPE supplied
We provide your uniform and all the personal protective equipment you need, at no cost.
Mileage paid
We pay mileage between calls, so you’re never out of pocket for getting to the people you support.
Career progression
We actively support your development and career progression — there’s real room to grow with us.
Apprenticeships
After 12 months with us, all staff can access apprenticeships to build their qualifications and take the next step.
Care jobs with a team people stay with
The best sign of a good place to work is that people don’t leave — and ours don’t. Many of our carers have been with us for years, some since Elmes Homecare began in 2018.
In an industry known for high turnover, that says everything about how we treat our team. We keep our carers close, back them properly, and give them the training, support and progression to build a real career — not just a job. When carers stay, the people we look after get the continuity and familiar faces that make care at home genuinely better. It’s good for everyone.
The people we’re looking for
You don’t need previous experience — the most important things can’t be taught. If you’re warm, patient, reliable and genuinely want to make a difference to people’s lives, we’d love to hear from you. A driving licence and access to a car are a real advantage, as our carers travel between clients’ homes.
We welcome applications from everyone and are committed to being an equal-opportunities employer.
How to apply
There’s no form to fill in — just email us and tell us a little about yourself. We’d love to hear why you’d like to join us, and we’ll get back to you.
