Celebrating Women in Homecare on International Women's Day

At Right at Home Cardiff and Newport, we have an incredible team of women at all levels and positions in our business. Today, as well as every other day of the year, we celebrate the women who work hard to provide exceptional care to our clients.

This International Women’s Day, we’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the women making a difference in Right at Home Cardiff and Newport. We would like to thank all of the women who work tirelessly every day to transform and make a difference to the lives of our clients. This years’ International Women’s Day is focused on a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.

Women often form the majority of the care industry. Adult social care workforce data from Skills for Care shows that 82% of care workers are women. However, in senior management roles across care, the proportion of women decreases to 68%. We firmly believe in the importance of placing women in all positions throughout the business: from caregiver roles to senior management roles.

We strive to be a business free from bias; we recognise hard work and give recognition where it is due. For Right at Home Cardiff and Newport this means, we are committed to listening to our team, ensuring that we create a work environment that provides equality in the workplace and equal opportunities regardless of gender/position! We also believe it is important for everyone to have the opportunity for genuine career progression.

We are always learning, continuing to grow as a business, and encouraging everyone at Right at Home Cardiff and Newport to contribute ideas that support our development. Together we can all #BreakTheBias.
