Recruitment

Welcome to the Bunbury Care Agency

As a specialist home care agency since 1968, we are always looking for experienced and high-quality daily and live-in carers for our clients who are predominently elderly. We take great pride in looking after all the staff who register with us, and we look forward to helping you find the right vacancies that match your expertise and earning expectations.

Bunbury Care Agency is a three-generation family-run business. Family is at the core of everything we do and that extends to the families we look after and our carers alike.

We can offer you a variety of clients, either daily or live-in, for you to look after on a regular rota basis.

Our current rates of pay are:

Daily care: £16/hour weekdays; £18/hour weekends

What our carers say

“It took me a while to have the confidence to give up my permanent job with the local authority, but I am glad I did. I now work fewer hours to suit my lifestyle and still earn a good living. The main benefit however is being able to do my job in a less stressful way knowing that I really am making a difference to someone else’s life. I would highly recommend anyone who passionately believes that elderly people should remain living in their own homes, to register with Bunbury. They treat their carers as they treat their clients with kindness, understanding and compassion.”
