We are excited to invite the local community to celebrate the opening of our newly located Dorchester home care service in the heart of Poundbury, at 22 Peverell Avenue West near Queen Mother Square, on Tuesday 10 March.
The celebratory event will begin at 10:30am, with guests invited to view the new premises, meet the care team, and learn more about the range of care and support services available to families across Dorchester and the surrounding areas. A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 11:30am, officiated by the Mayor of Dorchester, Councillor Andy Canning, alongside Agincare’s Founder and Chairman, Derek Luckhurst.
After 12pm, the focus will shift to careers as the team hosts a dedicated Open Afternoon for those interested in a career in care. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the rewarding roles available within home care and take part in on-the-day interviews. Agincare is also proud to announce competitive pay rates for those joining the Dorchester team, reinforcing its commitment to attracting and retaining high-quality care professionals while recognising the vital role they play in supporting the community.
Our expert team will also be on hand throughout the day to talk to local people about setting up high quality care and support for themselves or a loved one from Agincare’s expert, professional team.
