" I started a career in domiciliary care as I wanted to help people. It was frustrating having to walk away from people who needed my support. I'm glad I have discovered MacIntyre and the chance to go home happy at the end of a shift knowing that I have made a difference" Feedback at a recent MacIntyre careers event
