Ciara

Probation Supervisor 

A little bit about Ciara:

Ciara has been passionate about care from a young age, beginning her career in the sector at just 18 - she worked in a residential home for seven years, dedicating herself to supporting the elderly, before stopping to have her first born. Ciara’s passion for helping others stems from her childhood, during which she cared for her Nan. Reflecting her commitment to putting others first, Ciara joined Right at Home in 2020 and has flourished ever since - her hard work and dedication was recognised when she achieved a distinction in her Level 3 qualification, earning her the Apprenticeship of the Year award!

What inspired you to join Right at Home?

I wanted to come back into care when my children went to school full time, I wanted to work for Right at home as they offered flexible hours to work around my children, they also offered great opportunities to further my career, I have achieved this in my 4 years with Right at Home.

What does a typical day look like for you?

Supporting cares through their care calls, evidencing the care visit against the care certificate and making sure its documented accordingly. Transferring all relevant information to carers files. Booking in carers for their next support/observation visit.

I really enjoy supporting carers through their probation process, watching carers have no experience and develop into really great carers, makes me feel rewarded as i have supporting them through their learning process.
