Working in Home Care

Why a home care job may be for you

The benefits of working in home care

Working in homecare offers the rewarding experience of making a real difference in people’s lives, providing essential support to those who need it most. With flexible hours, ongoing training, and personal growth opportunities, you’ll be part of a compassionate team dedicated to helping individuals maintain their independence at home.

 

Permanent Work in Home Care

Caring for people in their own homes where possible can help them to feel more, well, at home. In their own space and with a certain level of independence that they may not feel in residential care.

 

Becoming a permanent member of staff for someone who received care at home can take several forms, and can be flexible whilst fitting in with existing care plans and the potentially changing needs of the individual. Of course, as long as the needs and plans are stuck to it can and should also fit around other aspects of your life as well. Whether it’s a couple of hours a week to help with shopping or a trip to the park or a full live-in setup where you are available at all times for hygiene, domestic, and mobility assistance. Indeed it could be anywhere between those two examples or could develop from one to another over time. All the while you’ll be developing as an individual, with access to a host of training resources to keep you on top of your game.

Temporary Home Care Work

People quite often require care in their own homes temporarily, and this can be mutually beneficial in terms of them getting the support they need and care professionals seeking short-term employment.

Home care can be temporarily necessary for a variety of reasons; whether a regular carer is unavailable for a brief period, or a person has been injured or ill. Quite often, it is specified as a condition of discharge from hospital, so you will be adhering to care plans set up by highly qualified professionals and ensuring the service user gets back to full fitness, or as close as possible, efficiently. Temporary in-home care can mean having one client or making visits to several houses for a shorter stay each day. You’ll be gaining experience and applying training alongside continuous development opportunities and will be paid for mileage when carrying out home visits.
