Our History

About Carers UK

Carers UK was formed in 2009 to provide an advertising platform for care worker and care assistant roles, nursing home jobs and healthcare assistant roles. These career profiles provide current information on responsibilities, qualifications and progression routes within the UK care sector. (National Careers Service)

Founded and developed by recruiters through feedback gained over several years, Carers UK set out to tackle many of the apparent failings of automated jobs board services to generate better results for advertisers and saw huge growth throughout 2010.

By helping thousands of job seekers find work, gaining strong positioning in search engines such as Google and developing unique features, Carers UK expanded in 2011 to accommodate all care jobs, adult social care job roles, nurse jobs, social work jobs, medical jobs and dental jobs to benefit the entire health and social care industries. Skills for Care provides information covering the wide range of current careers available within adult social care. (Skills for Care)

We are very proud to say that Carers UK is now a recognised brand and yet still very young in terms of our final goal and plans ahead.

By making our services accessible to organisations of all sizes, we have become possibly the largest provider to the domiciliary care sector across the country. As our development and growth continues, we aim to become the largest and most involved service of our kind by maintaining the trust of both our advertisers and job seekers along the way.

Carers UK is truly a next-generation system for the future of online recruitment, and we are truly grateful for the support, feedback and suggestions of all of our users.

For those considering a career in nursing, further information on becoming a registered nurse is available from the Nursing and Midwifery Council. (Nursing & Midwifery Council)
