Background
Gofal Ystwyth Care is a domiciliary home care company, based in Aberystwyth, which provides quality care in the homes of service users across Ceredigion. The company has been registered with Care Inspectorate Wales since August 2018 (latest inspection report: tinyurl.com/gofal-2023; prev: tinyurl.com/gofal-2021; tinyurl.com/gofal-2019) and currently employs 38 people, with two registered managers and a dedicated team of care staff.
We are seeking motivated, reliable and above all enthusiastic individuals who would like to join our team of carers who provide care to our service users in their own home. Are you keen to help our service users live safely in their own homes, where they are most comfortable and happy? We provide full training, company uniform, competitive pay rate (including travelling time between calls), and mileage allowance.
