Please, don’t just take our word for it, here is some positive feedback from one of our carers…
I’ve really loved doing my training at home as it worked amazingly around my kids. All the training was so good too it was a lot to do but now it’s all done. Thank you for your support, it’s been good to know you are only a message away if I’ve needed you.
We are always on the end of the phone on 01252 229360 or you are welcome to pop into one of our Melody Care branches where we will be happy to answer any questions.

Our recruitment process
After reviewing your application, a member of our Recruitment Team will be in touch for an initial chat and to arrange an interview. Prior to the induction course, we will follow up your references (one professional and one character reference) and carry out an (enhanced) DBS check. You may already have an existing DBS, we carry out our own DBS check, which can take between 2-4 weeks. We endeavour to complete this process as quickly as possible to speed up the recruitment process. However, if you are on the DBS Update Service, we just require your certificate number.

Once the induction course has been completed, you will be shadowing one of our experienced carers as this is the best way to learn about the role.
