In case you’re wondering, yes, we recruit carers for Nuneaton and the area.
But what is a Carer Support Worker and how to know if you want to be one?
To be a Carer Worker you don’t have to have a paper with that job title necessarily. You could look after a parent, a spouse or other family member with disabilities, mental illness or special needs and that makes you a carer.
However, the best Carers and Support Workers are the ones that know the specifics of the job, have the specialised training for it and answer to the needs of the sector. But they provide the clients with something rarer to see.
Overdelivering
Once I was told that the best way to do your job, to be valued and appreciated by the others and yourself, is always to overdeliver.
In a world that we usually get what we’ve paid for or less, overdelivering is crucial. We go to the shop, and we usually get what we’ve paid for or sometimes even less (quality of the products or the service). We go to a restaurant, and we get what we’ve paid for or very often, even less. We call with an issue to any service company and as usual – we get what we’ve asked for if not even less.
I know you agree with me.
So can you imagine in that world to come, someone, that over-delivers? Can you believe if that someone is you?
Over-delivering in any aspect of your life will benefit you, primarily when working as a Carer.
The difference for you will be that your over-delivering will improve someone else’s life.
So, what do I mean by Over-delivering? What does a good Carer Worker mean?
Did you know we are looking for Support Workers in Nuneaton?
The Best Carer is kind
The best Carer realises that to work as a carer, you should really care for the people. And kindness is on the top of the list. A person that’s kind has a good heart and loves helping people. That Carer understands that while what he does is a “job” to him, it is a way of living for the Client. A kind Carer understands the client’s situation and over-delivers with his job by just showing care.
The Carer wants to help
To be the best Carer, you have to like helping people. This job is not appropriate for you if you will do it only for the money. Because it’s challenging at moments, sometimes it’s messy and very often is hard.
So if you want to be a good Carer Worker, you have to love helping people. You have to love it not because of the “Thank You” card once a year, but because of the self-pleasure that today you actually did something good for someone else.
The Best Carer Knows Their Stuff
When dealing with people with special needs, you should be aware that the Client’s life sometimes is in your hands. You help them moving around the house or out; you give them their medications, etc.
To do all those things you will have to do training before that. If you consider working with us but don’t have any training, please Contact Us so we can help you with the options.
However, you will have the Certificates, but the most important thing is to realise the big responsibility you have when helping Clients. And the best Carer knows their policies, regulations, duties and is aware of the Client’s specific needs.

The Carer Worker Always Communicates
Effective communication has always been on the primary keys to being a good Carer. You should be able to communicate with your manager, but most importantly – with your Client.
The Client’s needs and safety always come first. So your task will be to communicate effectively with him on an everyday basis. Here’s the place when your kindness could shine among everyone else with your care and compassion. Just asking the routine questions will help you do the job, but adding the personal characteristic “kindness” will do wonders for the Client and yourself.
Organisation Skills
To be able to organise your time and your duties around your care for the Client is another crucial characteristic of the best Carer. Your professionalism will depend on our organisation skills. While helping the Client with his day-to-day needs, it will be up to you to organise the process in an ethical and effective manner.
