Amazing company. It is run by such a wonderful management team and carers. All carers actually care for the client rather than other agencies that do it just for money. Thank you for being such a fabulous business, we need more of you guys to look after our disabled or elderly. 5* highly recommended More...

I’ve worked for Visiting Angels since Feb 18 and l personally am extremely happy to be part of their team. Great employee benefits including extremely fair hourly rate with regular pay increases, my car was recently given a full valet and I won a spa voucher at Tankersley Manor for winning care giver of the month. You are paid whilst completing a comprehensive training programme and office and management are professional yet approachable, they have literally bent over backwards to fit work round me and the hours I am able to do as a single parent, and have promptly dealt with any issues raised. I have a lovely client base that is growing and l regularly receive good feedback from my clients via my manager, who is keen to let me know when I’m doing a good job which is something I think is missing in a lot of work places. As well as 20 days holiday a year, you are paid for travel time between client visits and a generous mileage allowance. There are other perks, such as servicing your vehicle annually and they are constantly monitoring and looking for ways to incentivise staff and show you their appreciation. If you are looking to start a career in or are currently working in the care sector and thinking of changing your employer for one that actually cares about you as much as their clients then I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation.

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping people. Ever since I was 16 I was helping and caring for people and my family are the same. I was brought up in a small
town in the south west of Scotland which always had great ethos of community and family, always looking out for each other.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to make a difference. Covid has affected everyone in some way whether through work or family. I am trained nurse, nearly 27 years in the NHS, I’ve watched everybody struggle. The ethos of this company ticked all the right boxes for me, they want to make a change to how we deliver care but also how we look after our carers
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients get to choose their care giver and they have the same person going into them.
We are the only carer-centric home care out there. We look after our carers better than anyone else. Staff retention is poor in health and especially social care. The turnover rate nationally for staff is 50-60%, Visiting Angels is between 16-20%.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Following all guidelines from NHS SCOTLAND and Care Inspectorate. Staff are wearing PPE in clients home and testing.
Home care
We offer a range of services from companionship/befriending, light housework/gardening, social outings, medication, personal care.
