Right at Home UK in drive to recruit 1,000 CareGivers

Homecare franchise is looking for caring and compassionate people with big hearts

Homecare provider Right at Home UK is calling for 1,000 caring and compassionate people to join its team of CareGivers to help those most vulnerable during the coronavirus pandemic.

The company’s franchisees help adults to remain living independently in the comfort of their own homes by providing companionship, personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping and 24-hour live-in care. Right at Home has 60-plus franchised offices in England and Wales.

Many of its clients are currently relying on the company’s services to support them as they stay at home during the coming months. It’s also expected that demand for community care services will increase, as more people will be discharged from hospital. In response, the company is looking to have people trained and ready to help relieve pressure on the NHS.

Applicants can phone a national recruitment line, open seven days a week, and their details will be sent to their local Right at Home office.

CEO Ken Deary says: “We’re incredibly proud of our care teams. They are doing an exceptional job during these challenging times and we’re calling for other people to join them in supporting those who need us most.

“Thousands of people in customer focused roles are currently facing redundancy or reduced hours, but they will already have the transferable skills to join our sector.

“We can support each other to make a difference in our local communities at a time where it has never counted so much.”

Heather Keep, Right at Home’s national people and brand development manager, says: “No experience is necessary, as we will provide you with all the training and tools you need to provide safe, high quality care in people’s homes.

“All we ask for is a big heart and a commitment to helping others and we will offer flexible hours to work around your availability to make sure that those who need help will get it.”
