Myth:
Caring is all about providing personal care
Wrong, care jobs are about so much more! Our carers develop trusted relationships with their assigned clients and often provide a wide range of social and emotional care and support services.
Every day is different when you're working as a carer!
Myth:
Caring is an unskilled
profession
Wrong, Care & Support Workers are highly skilled healthcare workers who have completed comprehensive training and qualifications.
Many carers will continue and develop their specialist training throughout their career, which enhances their personal development.
