Looking for a new career, or considering changing direction? The care sector offers some of the most rewarding roles and also upward progression, with flexible hours that you can work around your own life and family.
Care has frequently been in the news over the last few years, due to the impact of the pandemic and now the cost-of-living crisis. The pandemic itself made many families review the care for their own relatives when visits to care homes were not allowed. There has been a move to more and more people wanting to stay in their own homes, and from families trying to look after their relatives rather than move them to care homes. This doesn’t just involve the elderly, but individuals with various conditions who all need a bit more support and help to continue living independently in their own homes.
Quote from a previous client, “Uncle Bill is happy in his own home and including my three daughters, we have enough family to call in on him, but he reached a point he needed more help. We did consider a care home, but when he is so happy where he lives, needed a better solution. We were aware of West Park Care, so asked them to come over and do an assessment in his home. This took place and took account of all his needs, presenting us with a bespoke package of care, tailored specifically to his personal situation. He now has a carer calling in on him for an hour every morning, and then three half hour visits covering dinner, tea-time and his bedtime. Once a week they also come to do his cleaning”.
MD Tom Page set up West Park Care after seeing the poor standard of care his own grandad received. The company is based on an ethos of not just providing care, but companionship and friendship too. Care packages are bespoke and tailored to each individual to make sure their own needs are supported and that their family are happy with the amount of support.
Quote from carer Sam Baldwin, “The system’s we have in place enable me to spend quality time with our clients, and really get to know them. Whether it is having the time for a chat, or knowing if someone is ticklish, we’re not rushing to then get to our next client, and I can pace my own day. We have a brilliant system to log each visit vis an App, ensuring that nothing is missed, and the families have access to the very latest information. I have previously worked for four other care companies and this one really is class A in comparison”.
