What I do appreciate very much working for Astute Home care is the good quality of care they provide to the client and the support they provide us carers. The management keeps us up to date with trainings and I feel appreciated as a carer as I am not left alone. And I would advise people who want to start a career in care they shouldn't hesitate in joining Astute as it is a good company to help them improve in their caring skills and professional life in the health sector. I am grateful and happy in having joined Astute and their amazing team. More...
