Outstanding
Live-in Carers
At Mumby’s we are extremely proud of all our compassionate care staff in Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. Our carers support and empower your loved one to stay independent at home. They build strong relationships with our clients that are based on respect, honesty and trust.
We Look After Our Live-in Carers So They Can Concentrate On Looking After You
Mumby’s has an exceptionally high retention rate for staff because they are well-trained and well-treated with continual professional training including relevant NVQs and diplomas in care. Ann Mumby was originally a registered nurse and has extensive experience in home care. Ann’s husband Trevor is a University-qualified Psychiatric Social Worker. Together, Ann and Trevor have developed a comprehensive recruitment and training process that emphasises professionalism, expertise and qualifications.
Extensive Carer Training
We are aware that opening your home to a stranger who you will be relying on to provide care and support is a huge leap of faith and can be a very daunting thought. We remove that initial level of concern by screening our live-in carers very carefully through pre-employment interviews and reference checks. Mandatory clear DBS police checks are required and reviewed for all Mumby’s employees before they begin the process of being trained by us. During training we ensure our carers share our values of respect and dignity.

We offer a slick one-week onboarding process after your interview and outstanding in-house training with a wealth of knowledge, guidance, and practical examples to support you in your placements.

Why did you become a live-in carer?
Marta
My first experience as a carer I started since, I have looking after my grandfather.
Then I realized how important is to be there for people who seeking help, a good word, the kindness how important is for them.
One day when I went out for a walk I notice on one house gate written
” It takes guts to be kind and gentle.”
Leanna
I become a live in a carer because it benefits my personal like as well as my work life. It’s flexible for me I am able to spend time with clients and their families and helping them with living everyday life. I’m also able to spend time with my family. It’s a very approachable company for me to work for.
Maggie
I would say at birth, but obviously it can’t be true, but it’s close. I’m a big sister, one of four, so I became a carer soon after my sister Kate was born. I was three and a half years old. Since then, I’ve always looked after somebody. One day I made caring for people my job.
What do you love about it?
Marta
What I love in this this job is, when you see the smile on the person face and feel the trust what they gave you, they know you are there not just a carer also a friend who’s trying filling out every day with love and compassion.
Leanna
I love that all staff from Mumbys are very supportive, friendly and approachable. All office staff are on hand to help other carers when needed. The feedback from office staff and families is very much appreciated. Good or bad feedback can be improved and support is available. Training is also included whether zoom calls or face to face. Staff are able to build a career with Mumbys. Carers receive support and much needed care with the job. That is why I love it. Mumbys also support your job role and personal life. They are all just very supportive and I am thankful I have found and am working for an amazing company. I hope to be with Mumbys for a long time to come. Feedback from me is that Mumbys is a loving caring company and support staff and families immensely.
Maggie
To be a carer, it is not an easy job to do, but it means to me I can make somebody’s life nicer and easier, bringing some joy or at least some help, and I absolutely love it.
Why Do You Like Working For Mumbys Live in Care?
Marta
I’ve been working with Mumby’s Live in care for nearly 7 years ago and it’s never crossed my mind to go to work somewhere else.
This company is the best I ever worked for.
They always are there for me, helping me through in difficult moments, giving me always good advice, leading me if I’m stuck with some problems sending me messages of encouragement.
Leanna
I have been working for Mumbys for about 2 years now. It’s enjoyable and very rewarding. Some days it can nice and other days it can be hard but the support from Mumbys is amazing with a great understanding from staff on a daily basis. Mumbys are very supportive and helpful in making sure that not only family and clients are doing well but also the Carers. I would absolutely recommend for People to Apply for Mumbys. The outcome from the training and support is absolutely worth it all. If you are a caring person and have the patients, care, understanding and the ability to help others then Mumbys is the perfect job to have.
I hope this helps with the survey. I also hope my answers are okay. With my answers is hand on my heart truthful.
I first started in care in 2012. At that time my Grandma had the faith and belief in me to be a carer. She was the only family member I had who supported me with my career choice. She passed away end of October 2012 and at the beginning of November was when I had my first job offer to be a carer.
It was heartbreaking as she was no longer here for me to tell her but if her faith for me wasn’t strong enough, I don’t think I would be where I am today within my caring career. I hope to be with Mumbys for a long time to come.
It’s been enjoyable, achievable and immensely satisfying to be helping and supporting individuals’ life their live on a daily basis.
Being compassionate and the support provided is truly amazing ☺️
