Essential Information
Live-in: All positions are living in the client's home, where food and accommodation is provided.
Previous Experience: Experience is useful but not essential. It helps if our carers have previous experience caring for people with disabilities, however we do take on inexperienced carers as all our carers take part in training and our clients are happy to carry on training on the job.
Support: The Agency is set up to support and help you . You will have regular visits and phone calls from our staff, you’ll receive induction training before starting work, and a 24 hour handover by the previous carer for your first day on the job. Plus we can put you in touch with other carers in your area to meet up with in your time off.
Training: If you are a successful applicant you will be asked to come to our 4 day (free) training course, run weekly from Monday to Thursday at our office located just 20 minutes north of London by train. During the training you will learn about ENA, the different types of disabilities we care for, and how to work safe and well. You will meet our friendly staff who will provide information and support every step of the way. It is a great opportunity to relax into your new UK job After training we aim to place you into a job ASAP. It may be an immediate start or there may be a short period of time between training and your start date, this is because we want to match you up as best as possible with your ideal client so that you are happy in your new position.
3 months or longer: You should be available to work for three months or longer.
Coming from Abroad: We always have heaps of carers from Australia and New Zealand. those who work with us are relieved to have a job and home to settle into for 3 months, giving them time to save and plan for the next stage of their trip. You will need to apply for a visa to legally work in the UK see ‘visa’ section below. You will also need to obtain a Police Check before you leave home which costs $40 from your local police station. It will take 2 weeks to be processed, bring the certificate with you.
Reliable and Trustworthy: We require our staff to act responsibly as you are our primary carers. You are not permitted to drink or take drugs whilst working for your client. We check your referee’s and conduct police checks reassuring the client you are an honourable person and it is a requirement by law. Without 3 positive reference checks and clear police checks from both your home country and the UK, we are unable to place you. We’ll help you get your UK police check during training week.
Duties: The carer's duties are to assist our clients in their daily routine including personal, domestic and social needs. Often our clients require assistance getting in and out of their wheel chair, help in the shower and toilet, dressing, cooking and light household duties. You are expected to work no more than 6-8 hours hands on daily, with a minimum of 2 hours off daily, the rest of time is free time you just need to be in ears reach of your client in case of emergency or if they need anything.
Our Clients: The majority of our clients are young disabled adults keen to keep an active, interesting life. Some of our clients go to work every day, some go to day centres, some to University or college. Others like to go shopping, to the theatre, to meet their friends in the pub, or are more comfortable staying at home. Each client’s care plan and daily routine is individual. Some carers need to accompany the client all day; others may have time off when the client is busy doing their own thing. |
