Our biggest claim to fame is that we’ve been going strong since 1986! During this time, we have grown and matured into a trusted care provider for personal service users, local authority and hospitals.

Our ethos for expansion is to constantly innovate and introduce new practices, technologies and training. This enables us to expand our geographic reach, also.

We currently have offices in Leeds, Keighley and Manchester. This means we can cover most areas in North / West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester. We’re hoping to expand to other areas as of 2022. If you’re still not sure, simply give us a call to discuss your geographic location and our reach.

THE CQC (Care Quality Commission) is the UK’s official regulatory body for the care industry. It has a strict set of rules and procedures for care providers to follow. We are monitored and assessed regularly to ensure our staff and service users are receiving the best possible service we can provide.

CQC inclusion is mandatory for care providers.

DBS checks are compulsory for those in care. We pay for your DBS certificate, and then reimburse this in increments once you start working. A full DBS check and certificate currently costs £69.00.

Alternatively, you can opt to pay upfront.

All we ask is that you are enthusiastic, organised, punctual and have a passion for caring and looking after people. Experience isn’t necessary because we offer all your credentials and training you might need to start in the industry.

The Care Certificate is something that all care workers have to complete before being allowed to work professionally. We can provide all of your training for this and support you through the process of attaining your Care Certificate.

Carers can empty and change catheter bags but cannot change an indwelling catheter.

Please enquire with your local office to find out if assistance with stoma care, PEG tubes or other specialist support is available.

Caring for those that need it is extremely satisfying but also challenging. The first port-of-call we would suggest is to just give us a call, or pop into one of our offices to discuss your future.

It may not be a chosen path for those who are squeamish or for those who dont like cleaning, personal care (bodily care) and administrating medicines.

The roles and duties are varied, and we are confident we can find a role for you after discussing your personal situation and preferences.

Yes, absolutely! NVQS, apprenticeships, on-the-job training and our robust online training platforms allows you to further your career and development. Elmar prides itself to be able to recruit from within, so all opportunities are open to our existing teams to apply. Our ethos is ‘careers, not jobs’ which means we look to recruit those who want to stay and grow with us.

Working weekends is a fundamental part of the role of a Carer as our Service Users need support every day. Your local office will be able to share their rates of pay with you.

We offer a 24-hour service which runs 365 days a year. Some of our Service Users require round-the-clock care. However, we can schedule your hours to suit your lifestyle and other commitments.

During your time with us, you can opt or be encouraged to attain these modules. They can be studied and passed online (eLearning). For new starters, our aim is to get your care certificate completed within the first 3 months. This is followed by ongoing refresher training.
