New Year, new career?

With New Year’s resolutions, a whole new year of opportunities lying ahead and January blues floating around, the start of any year often instigates lots of decision making, new commitments and changes. These may range from joining a gym, to quitting smoking or even launching a new career.

We know that you join a gym to get fit and you stop smoking for the multitude of health benefits, but why consider starting a new career? It could be to earn more money, it could be to work in a more rewarding environment or it could be to try something different. Well, as a new care worker for Kare Plus let’s look at what this could mean for you.

The healthcare industry in the UK is continually growing; with an ongoing shortage of staff, an increasingly aged and growing population and the emerging need for post-hospital care arrangements. All this means that a career in the healthcare industry looks to be a secure opportunity with potential to develop your skills and move up the ladder.

Even if you have no experience or qualifications within healthcare, Kare Plus can get your desire for a new career moving. Following a substantive and inclusive Kare Plus induction supported by supervised practical experience you will be able to embark on your new career for 2016. Here at Kare Plus we believe that our people are one of our most important assets and as such we want to support your ongoing professional, personal and aspirational development.  We will also support you through a structured process of learning to acquire the Care Certificate - a qualification allowing you to work as a qualified domiciliary carer and one which certifies your skill, knowledge and ability.

Here at Kare Plus you are never just a Care Worker. You are an associated care professional working with our customers and supporting networks to promote independent living and high quality standards of person centric care.

With Kare Plus this means ongoing support within a fantastic working environment to continually develop your qualifications and skill set, all whilst receiving structured on-the-job support as well as flexible working shift patterns with regular days off.

So, maybe you’re a college student wanting part time work in a job you’re passionate about, or maybe you’re semi-retired and want to give something back to society. Contact your local Kare Plus branch this January to kick start an exciting new career helping people to maintain independence and live a life which has true meaning and value; at Kare Plus exceptional care is our standard.

*All applications are subject to receipt of satisfactory references and enhanced disclosure as well as satisfactory completion of a qualifying probationary period.
