Oxford Aunts is part of a family of home care brands in the UK, including The Good Care Group, Cherished Home Care, Prestige Nursing & Care and Comfort Keepers (Ireland).
We are an established home care provider who has been delivering care at home for over 50 years. We are always looking for experienced and compassionate carers to join our wonderful team. Located in the heart of Oxford, our reputation is built on high standards of care that are trusted by families throughout our local community and beyond.
When you become a live-in or hourly carer with Oxford Aunts you will be providing one-to-one care typically to an older person or a couple to enable them to live safely and comfortably in the place they love best – their own home – whilst avoiding an unnecessary move into a care home. It is an immensely rewarding career choice that has many benefits, not least that you are able to provide highly personalised one-to-one care with the time afforded to really make a difference to someone’s life, which is not easily achieved in a care home setting or if you are rushing from one household to the next.
