Job description

Job responsibilities

We want to make life better for more people. If you are as passionate about quality as we are and you want a role where your skills will make a real difference, this is a great opportunity.

Prestige Nursing & Care has provided home care for over 75 years and we have 30 local offices in England and Scotland. Our aim is to lead the care industry by providing high quality, personalised and specialist services to our clients.

We are leading the care industry to raise standards by providing high quality, personalised and specialist services that ensure people receive the highest quality of care.

Our services span the generations across a number of environments:

We offer complex nursing care, led by an experienced registered nurse, provided in the clients own home/ community setting and delivered by a Registered Nurse or Professional Carer.
