Care jobs in Kidderminster
Kidderminster has 16 registered home care services, run by 16 providers, and 9 of the 12 with a CQC rating are Good or Outstanding. Worcestershire paid agencies £22.47 an hour for home care in 2023-24, the 40th highest of 150 councils in England. Staffing is at least 75% of what home care costs to deliver, so that rate largely sets what local agencies can afford to pay carers.
