Our Culture
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.
About Elder
We’re a company on a mission to fundamentally change what it means to grow old.
We believe life isn’t about how long you’re here for, it’s about how well it’s lived. It’s about getting the support you need without giving up your dignity and making sure you’re able to choose the little things as you age – like what you have for dinner or watch on telly, right through to the big stuff, like where you call home.
It’s a cause close to all of our hearts. Many of us have personal connections to care after going through the journey with our own loved ones. Some have worked on the clinical frontline and have seen the impact live-in care can make, while others are driven to make a positive difference within our society.
But we can’t do this alone. Whether you’d like to care for an older person or want to help us tackle one of society’s biggest challenges behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you.
