What does it take to make a career in the care sector?

At GoodOaks Home Care, we pride ourselves on our PRIDE values of care: Professionalism, respect, integrity, dedication and empathy. We wanted to create the ultimate guide to myth busting the care sector, so that those looking at care as a career can really understand what it’s like. Care is an incredibly rewarding career, in fact, it’s one of the most rewarding, because every day your work and your actions help to change someone’s life for the better.

🎳 Wellness Wednesday? Mindful Thursday? We Call It: When in Doubt, Bowl It Out!

Sometimes, plans change—and in true GoodOaks Edgware & Finchley fashion, we turned a last-minute reshuffle into a team wellness win. 💙

With the team already scheduled to come in, we made an impromptu decision to trade training rooms for bowling lanes—and it turned out to be exactly what we all needed.

Yes, the safety rails were up.
Yes, we all used them.
And no, that didn’t stop the competitive vibes from flying! 😎

Split across two mini sessions (to keep our clients covered, of course), we laughed, we cheered, and maybe got slightly too invested in our scores... but most importantly, we recharged.

Wellness doesn’t have to be fancy. Sometimes it’s just a change of scene, a few strikes (and several dramatic gutter balls), and a reminder that taking care of our team is just as important as the care we give others.

There are a lot of myths out there about respite care, and we’re here to set the record straight.

At GoodOaks, we believe taking a break doesn’t mean stepping back. It means taking care of you, so you can keep showing up with strength and love.
- It’s not giving up
- It’s not just for emergencies
- And it’s not as complicated as you might think

14/08/2025

Caring for a loved one? You don’t have to do it alone.

Respite care gives you the chance to rest, recharge, and focus on you, while knowing your loved one is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
At GoodOaks, we believe asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether you need a few hours or a longer break, we’re here to support you.
Take a breath. You’ve earned it.
