Care jobs in Scarborough
Scarborough has 27 registered home care services, run by 26 providers, and 20 of the 21 with a CQC rating are Good or Outstanding (95%, against 87% across England). North Yorkshire paid agencies £25.63 an hour for home care in 2024-25, the 23rd highest of 152 councils in England.
