Why work for Luxuricare?
You are not a number in a large organisation. Your contribution is visible, and the Registered Manager works alongside you rather than above you.
What supports you
The tools you get
Carers are usually let down by the organisation around them rather than by their own effort. These three systems exist so that does not happen here.
BirdieCare planning & digital records
Organised digital care planning, visit notes and continuity of information, so everyone supporting a person is working from the same picture.
QCSPolicies & compliance
Structured policies and procedures that support professional standards across everything we do.
LumisStaff e-learning
Ongoing e-learning and staff development, so our team keeps building on what they know.
