It is not an overstatement to say that careers in the health and social care sector are among the most valuable to our country’s well-being. Dedicated care professionals not only help people on an individual basis, they make a hugely positive difference to society as a whole.
Everybody is dependent on the support of healthcare professionals at some point in their life, even if it is only when they are born; but it takes a special kind of person and a special kind of talent to spend every working day ‘giving something back’. Being a carer is not a job, it’s a vocation.
Coate Water Care’s seven residential care homes in four counties specialize in outstanding dementia care, and by doing so they offer some of the most vulnerable people in our communities 24/7 support so that they can benefit from an improved way of life in a comfortable environment.
Not surprisingly, the key word to bear in mind when contemplating a career in our sector is ‘care’. In order to thrive as a carer, nurse or care assistant you need to build close relationships with patients and their families. It is essential that people trust you, which means empathy, friendliness and fantastic communication skills are a must.
Careers looking after people with dementia are some of the most rewarding around, but they can also be challenging. You need to be compassionate but patient, too. Luckily, if you join the Coate Water Care family you will be surrounded by experienced professionals who exhibit all these key skills on a daily basis.
Coate Water Care’s brand-new Talent Network has been set-up to help both established and aspiring care professionals keep up-to-date with job opportunities at our seven residential homes in Swindon, Wiltshire, Gloucester, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Join the Coate Water Care Talent Network today and be the first to hear about new job openings as they become available.
And it is not just carers and nurses we need to provide the best possible care for our residents – we need managers, administrators, event organizers, cooks and cleaners, too. It takes a huge range of fantastic people to deliver the kind of quality care that has made Coate Water Care the envy of the care sector … 280 at the last count!
