The qualities we look for
Otters hold hands so they never drift apart — and they embody everything we look for in an Otter Care Professional. Sound like you?
Otters are equally at home on land and in water — just as our Care Professionals adapt and tailor their support to fit each person, and each day.
Otters are famously playful. A shared laugh, a little fun and warm company often turn an ordinary visit into the best part of someone's day.
Otters keep their little ones close and warm. Our team brings that same devotion to looking after someone else's loved one, every single visit.
Otters hold hands so they never drift apart. We watch over the people in our care just as closely — keeping them safe, secure and never alone.
Cared-for carers deliver better care
We believe great care starts with how we treat our own team. Look after your Care Professionals properly — with time, training, recognition and genuine support — and they give better, kinder care in return. It's not a perk; it's the whole philosophy.
What that looks like, day to day
Not a review — a reflection
Instead of formal supervisions, we hold quarterly Support & Reflection Sessions on paid time — you choose the setting (office, a café, or online), and we end with a goal or two, never a box-ticking score.
Otter Stars
Our Friday newsletter has an “Otter Stars” section celebrating great care — because good work should be seen and said out loud.
The Otter Wellness Guide
A printed wellbeing booklet for every team member — self-care tips and where to turn if you need support.
A “Celebrating Care” wall
Clients' thank-you cards and kind messages, up on the office wall, where the whole team can see the difference they make.
Fresh Fruit Fridays
Plus handwritten thank-you cards — we send personalised ones during Stress Awareness Week. One Care Professional wrote back that it “put a little tear in my eyes.”
A proper Christmas
A fully company-funded Christmas party — venue, sit-down meal, drinks and a DJ — plus a personalised card and small gift for everyone.
Care as a career — taken seriously
Great care starts with great training, so we invest in it properly. Every Care Professional gets a thorough, paid induction and ongoing development — experience is preferred, not essential, because we’ll teach you what you need.
We’re strong believers in care as a career, not just a job, and we actively back people who want to grow. Several of our team are currently working towards their NVQs in social care — and our Managing Director, Jamie, is completing a Level 5 Diploma in Health & Social Care. If you want to develop yourself, we’ll support you all the way.
