I work for local care force and it's such an amazing company! They have plenty of shifts that you can work around your life and they are so understanding about! My training from them was really well done and fun! I know that if I had any issues within anywhere I could turn to my manager and speak freely! All very professional! Have recommended a few friends now to work them!

I have just joined this agency after 2 years with a different one. Local Care Force is different from other agencies. After induction I left with shifts and since then I have been working as much as I want. They tell me where to go and the best bus to get and when I was lost i rang the office and they told me which way to go. I can only say this is the best agency, thank you especially Chris in the care team

Local Care Force is a brilliant company to work for. I always get a warm welcome from the staff in the office, no matter how busy they are! I get loads of work and most importantly, I've always been paid on time. They have a great range of courses to build and sharpen skills as well. These guys are awesome.
