Getting to work from Gloucester

Our homes are set in the countryside just outside the city, surrounded by space, fresh air and room for young people to grow. It's a calm, settled environment that makes a real difference to the children we care for, and to the team working alongside them. Most of our staff commute out from the city, swapping town streets for open country roads on the way in.

Shifts you can plan aroundEarly, late and weekend shifts on a rolling rota published in advance, so your own commitments fit around work.
Close enough for the school runA short drive and a rota published in advance make it easier to fit shifts around your own family.

No sleep-ins for care workers

Questions from Gloucester applicants

Can I get to work by bus from Gloucester?

Not reliably. Our homes are rural and shifts start early, so you need a full UK manual driving licence and a way to get there. We pay a monthly mileage supplement towards the drive.

Where will I be based?

At one of our homes near Gloucester, so you work with the same team and the same young people every week. We share the exact address at interview, to protect the young people who live there.
