🏡 Now Recruiting: Live in Carers 💙
Are you kind, compassionate, and passionate about helping others live independently in their own homes? We're looking for dedicated carers to join our live in care team.
If you have:
✔️ A caring nature
✔️ Good home-cooking skills
✔️ A desire to make a real difference to someone’s daily life
…we’d love to hear from you!
With flexible placements, ongoing support, and the chance to build meaningful relationships, this is more than just a job – it’s a rewarding career in care.
We're in the middle of an intense heat wave, with temperatures soaring well above seasonal norms. This extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable — it can be dangerous. Whether you're working outside, running errands, or staying home, please take precautions to protect yourself and others.
Here’s what you need to know:
🔥 Hydrate constantly – Drink water throughout the day, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
🧊 Stay cool – Use fans, take cool showers, and stay indoors during peak heat hours (usually 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.).
🌳 Check on others – Elderly neighbours, children, and pets are especially vulnerable. A quick call or visit could save a life.
🚫 Never leave anyone in a parked car – Even for a few minutes. The temperature inside can rise dangerously fast.
🏥 Know the signs of heat-related illness – Dizziness, nausea, headache, rapid heartbeat, or confusion are red flags. Seek medical attention immediately if these occur.
Stay informed by following local weather alerts.
Let’s look out for each other and get through this safely. 💛
