Whilst the home is 1 mile away from Harrogate train station, public transport can be tricky if you’re based further afield such as Leeds, that’s why we provide a bus service that can pick you up and drop you off from Leeds train station.

Should you be successfully hired in to this role, we are pleased to be able to offer you a one-off Starter Bonus of £500 as a thank you for deciding to join Bupa Care Services. The Starter Bonus will be paid to you in the next available pay run once you have completed four weeks’ service and will be subject to deductions for tax and NI. Ts &Cs Apply.
