Types of Care Jobs – Better Care At Home

What types of care jobs are there?

At Better Care at Home, we have multiple job roles to suit every lifestyle, ranging from hands-on jobs for part-time CareGivers and live-in Carers to office-based roles like Care Coordinators or Registered Managers etc.

What types of Carers are there?

If you choose to become a CareGiver with Better Care at Home, you will most likely join the team in one of the following roles:

Carer

Your role as a carer will be to deliver services such as personal care, companionship, and support with daily living. Working with the same Clients on an ongoing basis, you’ll form relationships and keep track of any changes that you notice in your wellbeing. Above all, our Carers provide any necessary care within the comfort of the Client’s own home. This role is focused on offering a friendly face and a listening ear; it’s the perfect role for those just starting out in the homecare field.

Senior CareGiver

In addition to performing the duties of a Carer, Senior CareGivers are also responsible for leading a small team. Drawing upon your experience, you’ll shadow new Carers, offering guidance and ad-hoc training, whilst performing quality checks to maintain our dedication to a high standard of care.

Our services range across different areas of specialism, including elderly, dementia, personal and hospital to home care. We also offer respite care for easing the duties of our Clients’ primary care providers. As such, our Carers can choose to specialise in certain areas, or to fulfil a range of services for different Clients.

Other types of jobs in the care industry

Recently completed a course and wondering what jobs health and social care can lead to? You may be surprised to learn that not all roles in the industry actually involve providing care. We also offer roles such as:

Care Coordinator

A Care Coordinator works both in the office and out in the field. Working closely with the junior and senior Carers in your team, you’ll make sure that everyone is in the right place at the right time. By scheduling appointments and handing Client liaison, this role centres on customer service and impeccable organisation. Care Coordinators are resilient, determined and invariably supportive of the team they manage.

Compliance Officer

As a Compliance Officer, you will take ownership of complying with all regulations, laws, quality standards and policies, to ensure a safe environment for Clients and staff alike. This role requires the ability to review and improve internal processes effectively and continually. Compliance underpins our ability to deliver the best possible service to our Clients.

Training Coordinator

We’re dedicated to offering high-quality in-house training to team members at all levels. Delivering effective training to Carers requires an energetic and persistent approach. You must be able to motivate others and drive their performance using creative ways of communicating through your teaching.

Registered Manager

As the leader of your team, you will need to implement and manage an excellent business plan and communication strategy to improve the services you offer. Registered Managers work autonomously, taking responsibility for managing budgets, ensuring quality and compliance and leading business growth.

These different types of care jobs are best suited for those who want to take lead of a team. Naturally, these roles come with a greater level of responsibility and require a certain level of experience. However, many of our carers have progressed to become managers over time, demonstrating their dedication to the care industry. Contact us today if you are interested in becoming part of our team.
