It’s an unfortunate reality that many of the country’s incredible carers have to endure poor working conditions, pay, and work-life balance.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Blossom Home Care are on a mission to redefine what it means to be a carer. So if you’re already working in the sector and are looking for a working environment that treats you properly, or are seeking to join this incredibly worthwhile profession, joining us is the right next step for you.
Here are five reasons why…
1) Feel valued with better pay
To ensure we only attract the very best carers – each of whom are incredibly valued both by us and our clients – Blossom Home Care are among the best paying care-in-the-home providers in the country.
In March 2022 we raised our flat rate of pay for carers to up to £14 per hour, with mileage and 10-minutes travel time also covered. Double pay is also available on certain bank holidays.
Additionally we offer a flexible working environment, with full-time and part-time roles available.
2) Create genuine connections with clients
Every single one of your home visits will last a minimum of 50 minutes, and often much longer. This allows you to really get to know who you are caring for and create deep, meaningful connections which also significantly improve the client’s wellbeing.
So if you’re currently feeling bogged down with constant firefighting during whistlestop 15-minute visits – as is common for most in-home carers – you will instantly feel the benefits of caring the Blossom way.
3) Enjoy your routine, rather than stressing about it
After joining Blossom Home Care, gone will be the days of relentlessly dashing across town, struggling to meet your dozens of appointments.
Being stressed at work isn’t beneficial to anyone, so we go the extra mile to ensure your schedules are achievable, engaging, and above all else enjoyable. We want you to look forward to coming to work and doing what you do best: delivering quality care.
4) Deliver an holistic approach to care
We are ardent believers that high-quality care extends to much more than just checking clients are safe and taking medication on time.
Our carers pride themselves on providing all-round holistic care to every single client, ensuring their unique needs and wants are met. So whether that’s helping them enjoy hobbies, keeping them active with a trip outside, or perhaps even reliving a precious childhood memory they treasure, providing the meaningful human contact they deserve makes for happy, healthier clients.
5) Receive expert training and support
We will always go the extra mile to ensure you are equipped with the tools, knowledge, and support you need to do your job to the very best of your abilities.
Amongst your many employee benefits is help with your continuous personal development and qualifications – including funded NVQs – should you wish to progress your career further.
In addition, we recognise that caring for clients can at times be a draining experience. That’s why you will always have 24/7 support from our incredibly friendly and experienced team, whenever you need it.
