Aramide, Obafemi and Ben at the company’s head office in Chesterfield
A new family-run homecare company in Chesterfield has announced plans to create up to 50 new jobs over the next 12 months after receiving regulatory approval to begin providing its services to people in the area.
Caremark Chesterfield and Bolsover will provide highly personalised care services for older and disabled adults living in their own homes. The services cover everything from specialist support for people with physical disabilities and end of life care, through to simple tasks such as meal preparation, shopping, and companionship.
After recently receiving its licence from the Care Quality Commission, the company which has its head office in Dunston Road, Chesterfield, is now in the process of recruiting the staff who will deliver this care.
Caremark Chesterfield and Bolsover has been set up by husband-and-wife team Obafemi and Aramide Odele.
Managing Director Aramide was working in the care sector in America before coming to the UK and she will be supported by Obafemi and their experienced Care Manager Ben Secker.
Aramide says: “More people than ever before are now choosing to retain their independence by remaining in their own homes and receiving the day-to-day support which will enable them to do this safely.
“Derbyshire has an ageing population, and this is set to increase by 65% between now and 2035. In Chesterfield alone, there has been an increase of over 15% in people aged 65 years and over in just ten years.
“There is therefore a growing need for high quality home care support services in Chesterfield & Bolsover, and that is why we have established our company.”
Caremark is a national franchised business which was set up almost 20 years ago and now has over 100 franchise offices across the UK and Ireland.
Aramide and Obafemi will be able to draw on the support of the national Caremark network and are confident customers and carers will be attracted by the strong brand and its reputation for delivering excellent standards of care.
They have set a target of attracting up to 50 carers over the next 12 months to enable them to meet the expected demand for their services.
Aramide added: “We are excited about what the future holds and are looking to build a strong team of carers to support our growth.”
