I wanted to experience life in England as this is where my ancestors hail from.... Being able to help elderly people to stay in their own homes and therefore feel secure in a familiar environment is a very rewarding experience.

Do I need to have a police check?You need to apply in your own country for a police check. When you arrive in the UK we are legally obliged to apply for a police check for you here.Where will I live when I am on my time off?You have to arrange somewhere to stay when you are not working. We have several Links for Care Workers that can advise on local accommodation, as well as providing other information you will find useful. We are sometimes able to arrange subsidised temporary accommodation, but this cannot be guaranteed. Please ask about this at time of application.Do I need a UK bank account?Yes.

Some UK banks now offer bank accounts designed specifically for people coming from overseas to work in the UK, so we hope you will not find this difficult. You may need a correspondence address in the UK and identification documents. You may find the services for overseas travellers offered by 1st Contact of interest. I live in South Africa.

I was looking for care work in England for a long time so was very glad to find out about Cooksbridge Care. The location is excellent for me as it has good air and rail connections to Europe and I like living near the sea!
