People attending will have the chance to speak directly with Dovida staff, learn about a variety of caregiver roles, explore available job opportunities, and receive guidance on training and career progression.

It will be held from 10am to 4pm  Time: 10am – 4pm.

Dovida Caregivers provide a range of vital services that empower people to live as independently as possible in their own homes. 

Those services can include assisting an older person who needs some help around the house or supporting someone who has a disability to attend events in the community.

A spokesperson for Dovida said: "Dovida offers both full and part-time positions as well as flexible hours in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends, allowing caregivers to fit their work into their lives and balance it with other commitments, such as family life, community activities or study."

The company also provides comprehensive training and support, as well as opportunities for personal and professional development.

“By joining our team, you will have the chance to change the lives of people in your community and develop the skills and expertise to build a rewarding career in care," said Mr Tubritt.

"So come along on the day to find out what it’s like to be a Dovida Caregiver; we’d love the chance to speak with you,” he added.
