Carer Review

My role involves visiting service users, to promote independent living in the comfort of individuals own homes with the support of myself to assist with their additional needs. This includes personal care, general house task, i assist with medication, I also use equipment aids to support with moving and handling.

I have learned how to support my customers independently with confidence. I have also learned how to work apart of a team, learning new skills from one another. Doing my level 2 has taught me more about myself as a person aswel as more indepth knowledge around my job role.

I throughly enjoy my programme now I have a great consistent tutor, with the support and believe she gives, gives me great confidence in believing in myself and that I can achieve this. Its been a challenge for me but I am determined to succeed is something I really enjoy

Well my first few months, it couldnt of been anymore unorganised. Since simone came along, its been fantastic. Really well structured and organised. With great encouragement and regular team meetings. As far as the maths and English the tutors have not been consistent at all which has caused me frustration.

The support from my employer varies depending on the work load we have. It can be a struggle to have meetings with my employer with the demand for care. But if I really have a issue and took it to the management, I am assured this would be sorted instantly.

She can't help me enough. Absolutely fantastic support. Always gives encouragement and makes me personally belive in myself. Always at the other end of the phone. Very efficient marking work and giving feedback or advice. Really listens and takes on board all situations that occur and makes it possible.

My qualification during training I am still currently studying, has really taught me so much more then my everyday role. How to establish different sernarios and being open minded to all possible situations that may arise in my day to day job. It has also taught me the 6 Cs

Unfortunately, there is not any extra curricular activities within my job role. I would love to set up an activity day to allow my customers time to socialise, have fun and do activities they miss and really enjoy taking part in. This is something that I need to address again

Yes

I would recommend friends and family to work for Bluebird care as I believe it is a great company to grow with. Bluebird care provide alot of training opportunities and the chance to take qualifications to grow within the bluebird company. Working my way to co ordinator or supervisor roles.

Tips and advice I would give to others applying for a position at Bluebird care would be to be realistic with hours they can provide, show your willing, efficient, caring and passionate about the job role within Bluebird care and why you would like to work for Bluebird care company.
