Care working - a profession, not just a job

NACAS is committed to serving Care Professionals in every capacity. Defined broadly, Care Professionals include individuals employed directly or self-employed in roles that provide care and support to others. They work across a diverse range of settings, including—but not limited to—residential care, nursing homes, domiciliary care, and supported living environments.

 Our commitment is to the individual delivering care, and to helping them meet the highest standards of practice, regardless of their employment arrangement.

We offer tools and guidance to help all care workers operate safely, ethically, and within the law, including support tailored to the different responsibilities that come with self-employment. This ensures that anyone delivering care is doing so to the highest standard, which benefits providers, clients, and the profession as a whole.

We remain committed to working collaboratively with providers, regulators, and all stakeholders to build a trusted, respected, and well-supported care workforce.
