A Life Changing Experience
Philip Keohane of Home Instead Reading looks at the fulfillment a role as a Care Professional can bring.
Within the social care sector, we are seeing a significant expansion in the demands placed on us from an ageing society. Only five years ago the Care Sector employed about 1.6 million people. Within 10 years, it is anticipated that nearer to 2.6 million people will be working in social care.
As someone whose organisation focuses on helping elderly people within our community to live fulfilling and rewarding lives, in their own homes, the satisfaction I get from seeing the difference our people make to the lives of others is immeasurable.
It is not just about the people we help. Our Care Professionals are our unsung heroes. They come from all walks of life and have quite varied experiences from their lives to date.
All of which they bring to their roles with us, and they derive immense personal satisfaction from seeing the results of their endeavours.
This is not a role for everyone. It takes a special type of personality to enjoy spending your days helping older people to go about their lives.
For me personally, it is the most rewarding thing I have ever done in 30 years of work. If you would like to learn more about working in social care, give me a call on 0118 909 9108.
