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. Covering North, Mid and East Devon, Ark Nursing & Care Agency supplies nurses and auxiliary care workers to an extensive variety of locations. We work with the NHS, Social Services, private Care Homes and individual families, and are proud of the strong and enduring partnerships we have built along the way.We offer an umbrella service for the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Due to our exacting standards we have managed to build up this service to Care Companies and providers nationwide. We are very proud that our average time from receiving DBS Forms at our Head Office to the receipt of the Individual's Enhanced DBS Certificate is approximately 1 – 2 weeks.Recognising a niche in the market, and being so confident in our level of provision, that we now sell our training to the care sector of North Devon – and are delighted to say that the uptake is exceptional.
