Careers at Westcott Care
Make a difference to someone’s life, including your own.
Why Work For Westcott Care?
Working in care is about so much more than helping people with everyday tasks. It’s about building relationships, bringing comfort, celebrating achievements and making every day a little brighter for the people who call our homes their own.
“Great care starts by seeing the person, not the condition. We let good people do what they do best.” – Andrew Whelan, Westcott Care Founder
At Westcott, we believe great care starts with great people. That’s why we invest in our teams, encourage personal development and create supportive workplaces where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to make a genuine difference.
Whether you’re beginning your career in care, bringing years of experience to your next role or looking for an opportunity in one of our support teams, you’ll be part of a team that shares one simple belief: every person deserves to feel seen, heard and truly at home.
OUR VALUES
The values that shape everyday
The way we care for people starts with the way we care for one another. These are the principles that guide every conversation, every decision and every moment across our homes, helping us create places where residents and colleagues alike can feel supported, valued and at home.
We see the person
Every resident has their own story, routines and personality, and we take the time to understand what matters most to them. We don't see a diagnosis first. We see a parent. A neighbour. A football fan. A retired teacher. Then we ask how we can support them.
We care with compassion
Kindness isn't an extra at Westcott; it's at the heart of everything we do, from the smallest gestures such as pinning a grandchild’s picture to the wall in the lounge, or checking in when someone is quieter than usual, to the biggest moments like parties to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays.
We work together
The best care is built on teamwork, trust and supporting one another, because no one ever makes a difference alone.
We never stop learning
We encourage curiosity, development and continuous learning so our people can grow in confidence, whether they’re new to residential care work or building a long-term career in care.
We take pride in what we do
Whether it's delivering exceptional care, welcoming families or supporting colleagues, we believe every detail matters.
We help people make life as full as possible
Our role isn't simply to provide care. It's to help people continue living meaningful, fulfilling lives, with the right support to enjoy every day. Whether that’s by helping them get dressed, showing them how to use the washing machine or through bespoke nursing care.
Because looking after people includes our team
Caring for others starts with feeling supported yourself. That’s why we’re committed to creating a workplace where our colleagues can grow, feel appreciated and enjoy a rewarding career, with benefits that support life both inside and outside of work.
Learning and career development
Whether you're taking your first steps into care, joining one of our support services of building on years of experience, we’ll invest in your professional development with ongoing training, recognised qualifications and clear opportunities to progress.
Flexible working opportunities
Life doesn't always fit around a standard working pattern. Wherever possible, we offer flexible working arrangements to help colleagues balance work with family and personal commitments.
A friendly, supportive team
You'll be joining more than a workplace. You'll become part of a welcoming team where people support one another, celebrate successes together and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Competitive pay and recognition
We believe great work deserves to be recognised, offering competitive rates of pay alongside schemes that celebrate the difference our teams make every day.
Career progression
We believe in helping great people grow. Whether you aspire to become a senior carer, nurse, registered manager or develop your career in one of our central support teams, we'll help you take the next step with the training and encouragement to get there.

Every day brings the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to someone's life.
