On top of this, all carers receive ongoing training, covering various conditions such as dementia. This enables the Fleet carers to enhance their skillset and knowledge.
We make sure all our carers go through thorough background checks through the Disclosure Barring Service, allowing us to make safe and reliable recruitment decisions. Our family-run business has over 30 years of experience and expertise, meaning our ability to find a carer that matches your requirements and interests is more than suitable.
