Join Our
Care Team
We are always looking for kind, reliable carers across the Algarve. If you take pride in doing the job properly, we would love to hear from you.
Care the Way It
Should Be Done
Algarve Care Services was built on one promise: to care for every client the way we would care for our own family. That only works with the right people.
Our carers look after the same small group of clients, so they get to know them properly. You will always have a Care Manager at the end of the phone, and you will never be sent into a home without knowing the person and their care plan.
Hourly, live-in and office roles, with clients across the whole Algarve.
The Qualities
That Matter Most
Whatever your background, these are the things we look for in everyone who joins us.
Genuine Compassion
You treat people with patience, dignity and respect, especially on the difficult days.
Reliability
Clients rely on you arriving on time, every time. So do their families, many of whom live abroad.
A Willingness to Learn
Care experience helps, but the right attitude matters most. We will support you to keep developing.
Good Communication
You speak English well enough to talk easily with clients and their families. Portuguese is a bonus.

Careers
Questions, Answered
Do I need care experience?

Do you have live-in roles?
Yes. We recruit for hourly, live-in and office roles. Tell us which you are interested in on the form.
Which areas do you cover?
We work across the whole Algarve, from Sagres to Castro Marim, so we are interested in carers in every area.
Do I need to speak Portuguese?
It helps, but it is not essential. Good spoken English is, because most of our clients and their families speak English.
