"Caring since 2002"
Started with 1 carer, now trusted by hundreds across Gloucestershire.
Founded on Compassion, Rooted in Cheltenham
Founded in 2002 after Age Concern Gloucestershire closed its domiciliary service, Amanda Gaunt launched Alpha Care Services as a modest 2-month pilot with just one dedicated carer.
Today, over two decades later, our small knit team supports hundreds of local residents across Cheltenham with unwavering compassion. We have intentionally chosen to remain an independent organisation rather than a national franchise. This ensures Amanda and our management team remain personally involved in every client's care journey.
Join a team that actually cares.
We value our carers as much as our clients, with unhurried visits, paid travel time, and supportive managers who have walked in your shoes.
