⛽ Fuel Card Scheme – Save on Fuel Costs
We know fuel costs can add up when you're working in community care!
That's why we offer eligible carers a Texaco fuel card, giving you access to potential savings of up to 8p per litre at participating garages.
Fuel card spending is offset against your mileage reimbursement, helping you manage fuel expenses throughout the month. It's another way we're supporting our care teams with everyday costs.

We take great pride in the quality of care we deliver, recognising that great care is complex and ever-evolving. We’re always learning, always improving—so we can continue to meet the highest standards for those who rely on us.
