A provider of care for young people and adults with learning and physical disabilities is to create 15 new jobs.

The expansion at Wellgate Care in Folkestone follows its takeover of MNP Complete Care in May.

It is seeking full and part-time staff, plus volunteers, for its four homes in the Folkestone area.

Managing director Jack Eldridge said: “Following the acquisition, we want to enhance our services and create more opportunities within a larger and more resilient group."
