A CARE company in Barnsley which makes 4,000 home visits a week is investing in specialist staff training and equipment to develop its services.

Caremark supports older people, adults and children with a range of complex health conditions and disabilities, enabling them to live independently.

It was set up in 2011 by directors Mark McKenning and Andrew Peace.

Since then the company has grown and its 140-strong team of care and support workers now make around 4,000 home visits every week across South Yorkshire.

Mark said: “Every person we care for is different and has an individual care plan and it is very important to us that our care workers have all the skills they need to meet each person’s needs.

“We’ve restructured, recruited to a new post of complex needs manager and stepped up staff training in specific areas to ensure we can offer a safe and comprehensive service to all our clients.”
