Why people love working at Elder
-
"Development and growth opportunities within the work place are two things I hold in high regard when considering a professional role. Since joining Elder in April last year, I have grabbed the opportunities presented to me with both hands and I have never looked back! I started my journey as an Account Executive and am now the Customer Experience Trainer.

Whilst we have one mission at Elder, in my view there are few jobs in the company that enable you to feel so integral to supporting our customers. In fostering trusting relationships with the families and carers working on our accounts, we are uniquely positioned to play a lasting role in a care solution that keeps families together, in their own homes.

Workplace Culture & Diversity
A vibrant community with care at its heart.
Our people aren’t just part of a team, they’re part of something bigger. We’re a close-knit group on a mission to reinvent what it means to age.
Elder is built around the idea that everyone should keep control, choice and independence throughout their lives. This doesn’t just apply to our customers, but to everyone who works with us too. We’re big believers in giving everyone the space, and the support they need to run with their own ideas, and ultimately shine.
It’s something that’s helped us to evolve a positive and welcoming too. Whether it’s through our weekly company catch-ups, team spotlights, or our social events, bringing people together allows us to celebrate different perspectives, experiences and talents – ensuring everyone feels like a true part of the team.
CEO Pete Dowd's - Story
-
A few years ago, Pete’s family had a tough time finding the right care for his Gran, Frances. When Frances needed a little extra help, they began looking after her themselves. Arranging for carers to pop in and out during the day wasn’t easy, and it was difficult to know when or how long they spent time with Frances. Finally, Pete's family decided the only way to keep Frances safe and ensure she got the care she needed was to move her into a care home. Pete was struck by how, at the time, they felt there was no other option. For over 200 years, the care home has become an accepted practice when a loved one needs a certain level of care, and he wanted to know why. Around 6.5 million people are looking after a loved one themselves – putting a considerable amount of emotional and financial pressure on families all over the UK.
