Every Newcross Carer makes a difference in the lives of the patients they encounter, through their compassionate and sensitive approach, but also their ability to deliver the highest quality person-centred care.

We are looking for experienced Care Assistants to uphold our philosophies in the local Warminster area, supporting clients in their day-to-day lives. Due to the locations of clients, access to your own vehicle is desirable to enable ease of travel between service users.
