Why work in the care sector?

We may be biased, but we think a career in care is one of the best careers you can choose!

Why work in care?

We understand there’s a lot of career opportunities available out there, and it can be tricky finding the right career path.

With over 3 million people working in the care sector in the UK, a career in care is a popular choice, and we can see why.

One of the main benefits of any role in care is how rewarding it can be. You truly are making a difference to someone’s life every single day.

As people, and person-centred care, is at the heart of everything we do in care, every day is different. You’ll meet lots of different people, all with different needs and stories. This ensures there’s never a boring day.

Perhaps most importantly, there are lots of different career opportunities in care. Our Exemplar Health Care team includes Health Care Assistants, Nurses, Care Support Colleagues, Central Service Teams and Management Teams. This means the path for progression is endless!
