About Newcastle Home Care Associates
Newcastle Home Care Associates is structured so that people will always come first.
As an employee-owned social enterprise, staff members get a vital role in the decision-making process because they own a share in the company. That means profits are spent on providing a better service or towards rewarding our staff. Our unique structure means that staff members have the opportunity to take part in democratic general meetings every other month and help set our budgets, pay and conditions.
Newcastle Home Care Associates strongly believes that well trained staff become more confident and are able to offer a better quality service. All staff get involved in training and all issues surrounding training, so that their training needs are met.
If something concerns you or if you have an idea as to how we can improve, your voice will be heard,
The staff’s achievements at Newcastle Home Care Associates and the related companies have caught the eye of many regional and national decision-makers and Margaret Elliott, a founder of the company, was awarded an OBE in the 2008 New Year Honours List. Presentations have been made to the House of Commons and other national social enterprise organisations who want to see care delivered by a social enterprise in their area.
“We are motivated by care of the client and not by making money”.
Based on the success of Sunderland Home Care Associates and with the assistance of CASA and New Deal for Communities, Newcastle Home Care Associates were launched in 2005.
