People and Culture
Hartford Care is one of the top care providers in the country.
When you join any of our Homes at Hartford Care, you can expect a warm welcome into our friendly team, where you’ll be valued and supported to be the best you can be to help residents live their lives to the absolute fullest.
We provide training and learning opportunities to help you develop all the skills and knowledge you need, so you don’t need previous experience to start a career in care. You just need to care about others and want to be part of a positive and supportive team. All new team members have a two week shadowing period with our in house teams.
See the video from our recent 2023 annual awards conference.
The best thing about working for Hartford Care
“Without doubt, it is the relationships I have with our residents. The bond is so strong, it feels as if they are part of my family”
