Deb had no previous care experience. She decided to research Bristol care companies, contacted Premier Homecare and is delighted with her choice of career and employer.
Why did you choose Premier Homecare to start with?
After reading the reviews of service users and care staff past and present my mind was made up for me, I knew this was the company for me.
How were your first few weeks – what was the training & support like
The first few weeks were a challenge as I had never worked in the care profession before, but with the training and support of everyone in the company I felt like I belonged, every question I had was answered above and beyond my expectations
What sort of things do you get up to on a typical day?
A typical day if there is such a thing involves a multitude of things, such as helping the service users to get out of bed, helping them to wash, apply creams, dress and take any medication they need. Also preparing food for them, making drinks or just being there for them, sometimes we are the only people they see.
What do you like best about your role?
The satisfaction that I have makes a difference. The joy I get when I see a happy person at the end of my visit is beyond belief. I know I made the best decision in changing my career, it’s the best thing I have done.
Have you had challenges along the way and how were you supported?
Most definitely, but I have the full support of my colleagues, supervisors and office staff alike. I never feel alone or forgotten, they really do care about you.
What is it really like to work for Premier Homecare?
I have to say I love working for the company, everyone has been so supportive and approachable and they really do appreciate everything you do, it’s a pleasure to be part of such a great company.
Are there opportunities to progress?
Yes there are and if the chance arose for me then I would definitely consider progression.
What would you say to someone thinking of applying?
Go for it, you have nothing to lose but everything to gain, they are the best.
