Maximising potential for over 20 years, Westcountry Case Management provides a specialist case management service that helps individuals recruit their own support workers.
Our ambition is to inspire clients, their relatives and professionals alike by consistently attaining excellent outcomes; supporting people with compassion and kindness.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make an impact on an inspirational person’s life, enhance their quality of care and support them through all and any challenges they may face.
