Care work: Finding Fulfilment
New Year – new career. It’s a common mantra which makes January the most popular month of the year for job-hunting! But how we work, where we work – and who we work with – are all hugely important in finding the perfect job. And for many, social care provides the freedom to work in our local communities in a role which is as rewarding as it is challenging.
You can find out more about what it’s like to work with Social Care Alba, and the training opportunities we provide our staff …
…but of course, that’s only half the story!
What you want from a career is pivotal to making a wise – and lasting – career move this January …
If you enjoy working with people,
you’re in luck at SCA; you’ll be spending time with a great team, with plenty of opportunities to catch up (our Foodie Fridays are enjoyed by everyone!). You’ll also have the opportunity to buddy up with colleagues as a new team member, and really feel part of the SCA family as you move through our career plans and training opportunities.
If you love helping others in need,
you may well find providing care to be incredibly fulfilling. Those who enjoy providing much-needed support are typically empathic, caring people and feel that they are using their skills to the max in care jobs.
If you have a knack for problem-solving,
here are many situations as a care-at-home worker which will need your skills! Everyday problems might require some quick thinking, whilst changes to a person’s situation – whether abilities or needs – will often need a pragmatic approach. Being resourceful, creative and solution-focused is important in all aspects of care.
If you are a team player,
you’ll find you’re in good company at SCA. We do all we can to make sure that every staff member feels supported and valued, and encourage our team to do the same for each other. That’s what makes a great team, after all!
If you’re at your happiest when you’re busy,
there will never be a dull moment as a personal assistant! Your day will be varied and full-on as you provide personal care, administer medications, take Service Users on outings or shopping, and provide general support around the home.
