FEATURE Roles for All
Health & Social Care Jobs Live is looking to help ‘plug the gap’ and provide a solution to the care home staffing crisis by staging its first ever show dedicated to recruitment in the sector. Here, they highlight some of the vacancies exhibitors will be looking to fill and what is involved in each role.
The care industry is on a significant recruitment drive for a wide range of different roles as vacancies grew following the pandemic, according to a study from the Care Quality Commission. As a result, care homes are focusing on broadening their talent base and attracting new people, by looking for the right behaviours and capability, rather than social care experience.
The industry is also building better career pathways, striving to make clear the development opportunities (as well as other allowances and benefits afforded by a career in care) and offering apprenticeship programmes for young people and school leavers, as a route into a care career.
CARE HOME ASSISTANT
The role of the care home assistant has kindness and compassion at its core.
- 26 -
Treating everyone with dignity and respect, you will be supporting residents with their daily routines from personal care to sitting, chatting and sharing a cup of tea with someone who suffers from dementia. At the end of the day, you may help someone get into bed or finish a puzzle.
Oſten this type of role will pay for you to have a DBS check, provide you with a free uniform, free parking and sometimes even a free lunch. You can expect to receive regular training – including first aid and health and safety.
ACTIVITIES COORDINATOR
This is a really rewarding role especially for those who love working with people and planning ahead. A typical week may involve deciding on an activity programme and visiting residents in their rooms to see how they are and ask them if they would like to join in with specific activities in small or larger groups.
