Working in a care home
Why a care home job might be for you
Working in a care home
A care home, or any other fixed-location care setting, is an excellent option for those who are passionate about looking after others but want to reduce the time spent travelling between appointments, houses, and service users. Working in one place means naturally building relationships with regular visitors/residents.
Residential Care Homes
As the name suggests, residential care homes provide both accommodation and care for those who are not able to be fully independent.
As such, the care requirements of residents vary and you'll need to be flexible, patient, and personable in your care home role. Being based in one place means that unlike many who work in care, time spent travelling between settings and clients will be minimised - you'll build a report with residents, getting used to familiar faces and surroundings
Of course, working with Daisy Care Solutions means that you'll receive a competitive rate of pay as well as access to a vast array of training courses and materials, plus a range of other benefits which you can find listed on the Join Us page.
Nursing Homes
Often used interchangeably with "care home" a nursing home is actually a more specific type of residential care home.
As the name suggests, a nursing home will have one of several registered nurses on hand to oversee and administer care - because of their specialised training and experience, this can go beyond general hygiene, comfort, and mobility care to include basic medical care and medicine management.
Of course, the safe and effective running of a nursing home also relies on a wide array of staff in addition to nurses. As such, Daisy Care Solutions provide our clients with (and are always looking for) domestic assistants, care assistants, senior carers, team leaders and a wide range of other roles.
