The COVID-19 pandemic has seen people reconsider what type of job they want, with 53% of UK workers planning to make changes to their careers in the next 12 months. With one of the reasons being a desire to make a difference to those in need, social care is the perfect match.

Working in social care is often recognised as a fulfilling job choice because of the positive impact that you can have, plus many roles can also provide fully funded qualification opportunities. For example, Voyage Care is a social care provider that provides nationally recognised training and qualifications to help you grow and thrive in your role. This means that you don’t need prior experience, just the right attitude, as they can teach you the rest!

Burnham and Highbridge Weekly News:

With over 30 years’ experience, Voyage Care is currently looking for highly motivated individuals to support people with learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries and complex care needs in your area. You’ll be supporting people of all ages with different care and support needs.

Duties included in a typical role of a support worker could involve helping someone with daily routines, such as washing, dressing or eating. Or, you may be supporting people to access the local community, such as education, shops and cafes or parks. What better feeling than helping people build daily routines so that they can live an independent and fulfilling life?

Chloe, who works at Voyage Care, commented, “For me, working in social care is so heart-warming. You’re able to give someone’s life so much more meaning…and knowing there are so many things you can help them improve on.”

Along with job satisfaction and development opportunities, people in social care jobs can see some great benefits. Voyage Care offer life assurance, rewards schemes, the Blue Light Card and much more.
