Help care homes, hospices and community organisations bring the benefits of immersive virtual reality experiences of nature and travel to the people they care for.
At Vae Care, we believe nobody should lose the opportunity to experience the world simply because they are no longer able to travel.
We're looking to build a small network of trusted Care & Community Partnership Representatives across the UK to introduce our immersive virtual reality service to organisations that could genuinely benefit from it.
If you have existing relationships within care homes, hospices or community organisations, or you're confident building new relationships within these sectors and would like to represent a service that makes a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
About Vae Care
Vae Care is a Staffordshire-based not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to improving the wellbeing of older adults and vulnerable people through immersive virtual reality.
Our experiences enable people to explore new destinations, revisit meaningful places and enjoy immersive nature and travel experiences that encourage reminiscence, conversation, relaxation and social connection.
Over the past eight years, we've developed our service in collaboration with care providers, hospices and NHS partners. Research undertaken alongside Keele University has demonstrated measurable improvements in participant wellbeing.
Vae Care is available to care homes, hospices and community organisations across the UK. We provide everything needed to deliver the service safely and confidently, including VR headsets, our remote-controlled video delivery platform, staff training, safety documentation, ongoing support and a growing library of professionally produced immersive experiences.

Your Role
As a Care & Community Partnership Representative, you'll represent Vae Care professionally within the care and community sector, building relationships with organisations that you believe could genuinely benefit from our service.
Whether through existing contacts or by developing new professional relationships, you'll take the time to understand an organisation's needs, demonstrate how Vae Care could add value and, when there's genuine interest, introduce us to the appropriate decision maker.
Once you've made the introduction, we'll take care of everything else, from the initial conversation and any demonstrations through to quotations, contracts, installation, staff training and ongoing customer support.
You create the opportunity. We'll take care of the rest.
