About Care is Central

Our vision is to be the leading care provider for Central Bedfordshire. With a team of over 70 carers, working in seven independent living schemes in Ampthill, Leighton Buzzard, Houghton Regis, Sandy, Biggleswade and Dunstable, we believe in delivering the very best possible care to those that need it and the very best opportunities to our care support workers. Enabling you to develop your career and get more out of your care job than just a paycheck.

We only recruit the most passionate people, not necessarily the most qualified or experienced but the ones that care the most, that want to make a difference and want to make the world a better place for the people that they support.

We truly support and value our care teams offering a wealth of benefits, training packages, fast career progression and well-being support. We know you can’t care to the best of your ability if you are not being properly supported yourself. Find out more at www.careiscentral.org.uk
