Ark Nursing & Care Agency is the largest, private, family-run nursing agency in North Devon. We are also one of the few agencies in North and East Devon registered to care for children in their own homes. Ark Nursing & Care Agency was established by Rowena Rhead, a locally-born Registered Nurse who trained at North Devon District Hospital.
It was through her work that Rowena identified a niche in the care market for the provision of first class care with a 'family feel' and went on to establish Ark Nursing & Care Agency in 2002. Covering North, Mid and East Devon, Ark Nursing & Care Agency supplies nurses and auxiliary care workers to an extensive variety of locations.

I have worked for Ark for over 2 years. I have always found them professional, friendly and helpful. I get a good variety of work.. often I am booked in advance and I am happy to continue working for Ark . The variety of jobs is suited for each member depending on their experience and qualifications. I wouldn’t work for any other agency

I have had experience with Ark Nursing Agency for the past 4 years as one of their staff nurses. I have always found the office staff to be friendly and they do not pester you if you have clarified you are not available. Shifts are easily bookable via text messages and payment has always been received on time.
I also have dealing with Ark on another professional level where their staff support my patients in the community. The staff have always been treated patients with respect and dignity, information has easily been passed from health professionals to Ark staff and families have felt supported

Ark is a great company to work for
Hours and shifts to fit around family
Always a friendly voice on the end of the phone
And greeted with a cheery “ hello “ when you pop in the office AND they know you by your first name so you don’t just feel like a number
Regular training and updates
