Written by the company
Since 1989, we have been providing compassionate, person-centred care at home to individuals across the UK. Our journey started in a small house in Warwickshire, and today, we have over 150 branches across the country. This growth has allowed us to extend our exceptional care and make a bigger difference while allowing our customers to remain in the place they love. Our carers are kind and compassionate individuals who always go the extra mile. They are fully trained to provide the highest level of care, no matter what condition you are living with. We are also recognised for delivering specialist dementia care, a service we have enhanced through our partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society. This has allowed us to provide our carers with dementia training to help support our customers living with different types of dementia. Our service is fully regulated and monitored by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales. We are proud to have received an overall rating of GOOD, and the CIW reported that our carers go “above and beyond, doing things that are ‘not on the list’.

Untrusted and Unprofessional Company
I have applied a role for a Care Assistant for Northampton area at Helping Hands at the beginning of June 2026. I took the one day RAD training on the middle of June 2026 and was told I passed. Then the next step, I was told to wait for their call as now they will have to process the admin stuff like the DBS checks and references checks, which they had done.
However, I have not received any call from anyone. Concerned, I phoned them on the 13th of July for an update and the trainer apologised for the long process. She asked me some questions which they already have the answers before, as I have already provided them to the HR. However, after my last contact, I still have not received any response from them, whether I am going to start the role or not.
It doesn't take very long to get a DBS check nor references from my previous employers. I know that for sure. I do have a very clean criminal record so, I'm not sure why it's taking them so long to process my application. Very, very long process!!
This is the 2nd time I have applied a role from their company. The first time was in 2025 and they have done the same behaviour even then. For that reason, I had accepted another role from another company.
In the meantime, I can still see that the role is being advertised. Which means, they are still looking for staff for other places including Northampton.
How I feel?
I am very disappointed and now lost my trust on them because of the way they handled the recruitment process is very unfair and unprofessional.
If this is their attitude to job seekers, how would be their behaviour with their clients?
I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone at all because of the reason mentioned above.

Good Morning Remy,
We are saddened to receive your review and very sorry to read that your experience has left you feeling this way.
We understand how important clear communication is during a recruitment process, and we can appreciate how disappointing it must be when you are waiting for updates about a role you were hoping to join.
Whilst Trustpilot is primarily designed for reviews about the care and support services we provide to our customers, feedback relating to our recruitment experiences is often better placed on platforms such as Glassdoor.
However, we would still welcome the opportunity to ensure your concerns are reviewed by the appropriate team.
If you would like us to look into this further, please email kathryn.wilson@helpinghands.co.uk with your full name and contact details, and we will arrange for your feedback to be escalated to the relevant management team for review.
Kindest regards
Kathryn
