Care company creates 100 jobs
TWO well-established Cambridgeshire-based companies are joining forces to create a new care and support service for the county.
Axiom Crossroads Care is being set up by Axiom housing association, which has its base in Peterborough, in Maskew Avenue, and Crossroads Care Cambridgeshire, based in St Ives, which provides support for carers and the people they care for as part of a leading national network.
Providers and residents will be able to access care and support services across a whole range of everyday tasks, from help with shopping and gardening through to personal care needs such as feeding and dressing.
Like its parent companies, Axiom Crossroads Care will be a charitable not-for-profit organisation with an estimated turnover of £1.1 million and up to 100 staff within its first three years of trading.
Preparations are currently under way to finalise the business plan and recruit a head of operations ready for an official launch in the spring.
Alan Lewin, chief executive of Axiom, said: “Axiom Crossroads Care will be a locally-based provider of consistently high-quality care and support that people can trust. We will do this by combining both companies’ experience and excellence.”
Dr Helen Brown, chief executive of Crossroads Care Cambridgeshire, added: “We are really excited about this new joint venture which will provide a holistic service for doctors and commissioning bodies to access, as well as a much needed additional care provider for our county.
