New year, new career in care?
So it's a new year - could 2016 be the year you choose care as a rewarding career? With an estimated 2 million people in the UK over 65 and a rising number of children and young people with disabilities needing social care support, there has never been a better time to start caring!
January is traditionally a month for reflection, after the craziness of Christmas, we take time to consider the changes we want to make to our lives and many choose to change their jobs for the better.
Absolute Healthcare are recruiting - and we believe the very best carers actually don't start out as such! Those who have enjoyed long and rewarding careers with us are people who come to us having previously worked in different sectors, but who have held the desire to have a new challenge in a role where their time makes a difference.
Of course if you're a carer with existing qualifications and experience, and fancy joining a company that is focused on its staff and clients' well-being far more than its bottom-line, then it goes without saying, please give us a call!
For those who haven't tried care work before, we offer full training, including the National Care Certificate, and numerous other bespoke health, medical and first aid courses - all overseen by our director of care, who is a registered nurse.
We guide you through the entire care journey, ensuring you get lots of hands-on experience 'shadowing' clients, learning the administrational side of care within the office, and supporting you all the way with your career aspirations.
You may be a mum considering a return to work, or an au pair or nanny looking for a change. You've spent years caring for children, learning about first aid, medical, dietary and well-being issues, possibly even developed skills in special needs support. Why not invest these experiences with us and let us help you shape a career that rewards you with a good work/life balance.
Perhaps you've been working in administration or retail, where you've had daily contact with a variety of people, developed great customer service skills, and have the drive to learn and make a difference to peoples lives.
Whatever your background, Absolute Healthcare would like to hear from you, and hopefully welcome you into our team! We currently have opportunities for domiciliary carers with a variety of hours available, and live-in/night carers for people who prefer more of an ongoing assignment. We care for young and old, and we're particularly keen to hear from people with experience of working with dementia patients, and children/young people.
We operate across East Hampshire and West Surrey, offering great rates of pay, excellent training and a family focused, flexible approach. We'll give you everything you need to kick-start your new year career in care!
Give Catherine a call today for an informal chat about whether care might be your ideal next step.
