Right at Home Mid Hampshire Celebrates Care Professionals with the #MoreThanCare Campaign
Published: 10/06/2024
We are changing misconceptions about the homecare sector, highlighting the crucial work and ever-changing roles of our care workers.
At Right at Home Mid Hampshire, we are celebrating the hard work of our community care workers/care professionals, who play a vital role in ensuring people can thrive at home. As part of a nationwide campaign by Right at Home UK, we proudly showcase the diverse responsibilities involved in homecare and challenge the misconception that caregiving is an unskilled job with no room for progression.
The ‘More Than Care’ campaign highlights the vast range of career opportunities available. This initiative features care professionals from across the country reflecting on their life-enriching decisions to enter the homecare sector.
How is the role of the care professional changing?
According to Heather Wehrle, Director of People and Brand at Right at Home UK: “The role of a care professional has evolved significantly over recent years. Today, community care workers possess a wide range of technical skills. To meet this evolution, the quality of training, learning and development opportunities has progressed to ensure this proud workforce can meet the demands of the communities they serve.”
Nick Turner, Owner of Right at Home Mid Hampshire, explains: "Our training, learning, and development opportunities have evolved to meet the demands of our community by incorporating a range of comprehensive and specialised programs. We now offer advanced training in dementia care, palliative care, and chronic condition management, alongside continuous professional development workshops and e-learning modules. These enhancements ensure our caregivers are well-equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to provide the highest standard of care to our clients."
At Right at Home Mid Hampshire, we invest heavily in staff development.
We provide tailored career pathways that align with our care professionals' homecare aspirations. Through our extensive array of training courses, personalised coaching, and mentoring, we empower our care professionals to achieve their goals within the social care sector.
Shannon Haines, 25, Registered Manager, has progressed to the role of Registered Manager after starting her journey as a CareGiver 5 years ago. She said: "What I enjoy most about my role is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our clients' lives and to mentor and support my team. My proudest moment at Right at Home was leading our team to achieve an Outstanding rating from our recent care quality inspection.”
What makes Right at Home Mid Hampshire a great place to work?
Nick Turner commented: "We stand out as an employer by offering competitive benefits, a supportive work environment, and ample opportunities for growth and advancement. Our commitment to employee development ensures a fulfilling career journey for our team members."
He added: "I am immensely proud of our workforce and their dedication to enabling our clients to live fulfilling lives independently at home. Their unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care is the cornerstone of our organisation. With this campaign, I hope to shine a spotlight on their invaluable contributions and inspire others to join us in making a meaningful difference in people's lives."
