PROUD TO BE A CARER

Proud of my Profession in Care

We are all living longer. While many of us continue living independently at home, there is a growing need from people who are unable to do so without support and care. But where are the carers? With over two thousand vacancies for care roles in Buckinghamshire, what can we do to address this issue? from giving something of real value to others.

What does it take?

• Genuinely CARE about the people you are caring for. • Be COMMITTED, reliable and compassionate. •Believe in yourself - you CAN do this, you just need to WANT to.

Care roles are undervalued by society

This situation needs to change. Our Proud to work in Care campaign highlights why OUR staff actively choose to work in care. All our staff encourage others to move into the care sector and transform peoples’ lives. Caring offers opportunities to develop a rewarding career in a variety of specialist roles across the sector.

Why care?

•There is a growing need for people with the right attitude to deliver high quality care in the Wendover community and beyond. •You can make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable people living locally. •You will gain the satisfaction that comes

What will you get out of it?

•You will be part of a supportive, friendly team, looking out for each other. •You will be enriched by giving out, because you will get back more than you give - guaranteed! • You will have the flexibility to work the hours that you can offer, around family and work commitments. Many good care providers (including Right at Home) offer free training, paid holiday, company pension scheme and other benefits, as well as competitive pay rates.
