At-home care provider to create 100 East Midlands jobs

Some 100 jobs are to be created across the East Midlands after a home care provider said it needed the extra staff to meet demand for its services in the region.

Premier Community, which was established 25 years ago, provides home care services and mobility aids through its high street shops across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Sheffield.

The company is set to create 100 new jobs for carers in the East Midlands, a response to the increase in demand for at-home care services for older and more vulnerable residents.

Chief executive officer, Daniel Isterling, said: “As the country has slowly adjusted to a post-pandemic way of life, we have noticed that the demand for at-home care services has risen incrementally.”

He added: “Families are more aware of the options that are available to them when looking for high-quality care services that would suit the needs of their loved ones, such as at-home care.

“As we look ahead to the next few months, the demand for at-home care services will only increase further as the country heads into the colder months, so it is important for us to meet not only the demand right now, but the demand we will see throughout the winter months.

“Premier Community has been providing quality care and mobility services for over 25 years, and we are very proud of the fact that our carers go through a comprehensive training programme to ensure that only the highest-quality of care is provided to our service users.

“Most importantly, Premier Community is a family. We are family-owned, family-run and we treat every member of our wonderful team, whether that be our carers or those working in our retail shops, with the same respect and appreciation. Without our incredible team, we would not be where we are today.”
