Based on Aycliffe Business Park in Newton Aycliffe. We know County Durham and Tees Valley because we live here.
Early mornings, late evenings, weekends. When you need cover, you need someone who picks up. That's us.
Gamesley Care is part of Gamesley Ltd, founded by Ikenna — a procurement professional with CIPS Level 4 accreditation, an MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and hands-on experience in children's care support work.
That combination means we understand what commissioners need from a supplier, what registered managers need from an agency, and what young people need from the workers who support them.
We're building Gamesley Care to be the most trusted care brand in the North East — starting with staffing, and growing into residential care and supported accommodation.
