🚴♂️💙 Going the extra mile, on and off the job.
At Care South, being part of the team is about more than the role you do each day. It's about coming together to support our communities and the causes that matter.
This week, colleagues from Marjorie House and Care South Head Office are taking on a 320km virtual cycle ride from London to Paris in support of PLANETS Charity, raising awareness and funds for the charity's vital work supporting cancer patients and clinicians.
Over six days, the team will work together to complete the challenge, proving that when people come together, every mile and every effort can make a real difference.
As a not-for-profit charity, giving back is part of who we are. Whether it's supporting local charities, fundraising for important causes, or creating meaningful moments for residents, we're proud to make a positive impact beyond our homes.
💙 If you're looking for a career where community matters just as much as care, we'd love to hear from you.
