We’re hiring
Join us, and together we can change perceptions, and transform lives through live-in care
Let’s begin with why we’re here. Our mission is to reinvent what it means to age.
At Elder we believe getting older shouldn’t mean giving up choice and independence – even when you need care.
In a world where social care remains one of society’s biggest challenges, ensuring people get to live their own lives, on their own terms empowers everything we do. It forms who we are, the way we take action, and how we learn and grow together as a team.
Our core values
Our values are more than words on a page – they’re behaviours we live every day, because actions always speak the loudest.
Seeking excellence
Together
For our society
Why Elder?
At Elder we always set out to find the best. However, the best doesn’t always mean the most experienced. The best are those who don’t just see a role with us as a job, but as an opportunity to make a difference for vulnerable people and their families. They may not know all the ins and outs of the UK’s social care challenges, but they’re passionate about learning more. They aren’t afraid to ask questions, and get stuck in.
We’ll do everything we can to support your success too. We have varied opportunities for career progression and ensure everyone’s talent has an opportunity to shine.
You’ll be free to map your own path and grow beyond your role, with regular personal development sessions and mentoring that ensure you’re always heading towards your aspirations.
