Join the SW Care Team
Compassionate, reliable people who want to make a real difference. That is who we are looking for.
Join the SW Care Family
You do not need qualifications. You do not need experience. What you need is the right attitude — patience, kindness, and a genuine desire to help someone live well at home.
If you have spent time looking after a parent, a grandparent, or a family member — you already have skills that matter more than any certificate. Many of our best carers started exactly where you are now. Unpaid carers who decided to turn their experience into a career they love.
We are a CQC-rated Good home care provider, a Top 20 Home Care Group 2025, and rated 9.8/10 on Homecare.co.uk. Since July 2018, we have built a team of dedicated carers who choose to stay because they feel valued, supported, and proud of the work they do.
We do not offer sponsorship visas. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK and live in or near Cheltenham.

Training and Development
We believe great care starts with great training. That is not a slogan — it is how we operate.
Before Your First Client
Every new carer completes the full Care Certificate — 16 standards covering safeguarding, infection control, communication, privacy, and person-centred care. You also shadow experienced carers on real visits before working independently. You start with confidence, not anxiety.
Ongoing Development
Once established, you can opt into NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 — government-funded, nationally recognised qualifications. We also offer condition-specific training in dementia care, palliative care, moving and handling, and medication management. As your career develops, your training develops with it.
Career Progression
Care work is not a dead end. Carers at SW Care progress into senior carer roles, care coordinator positions, and management. Several of our current team leaders started as visiting carers with no previous experience. Read more about training
