🚫 5 Myths About Being a Carer – BUSTED! 💥
Think you know what it’s like to work in care? Let’s separate fact from fiction:

❌ Myth 1: "You don’t need any training to be a carer."
✅ Carers get specialist training in personal care, medication, dementia support & more. We invest in you from day one!

❌ Myth 2: "Care work is only for women."
✅ Nope! Great carers come in all genders. Compassion doesn’t have a gender.

❌ Myth 3: "Being a carer means doing basic tasks all day."
✅ Carers build real relationships and support wellbeing – it’s meaningful, human work.

❌ Myth 4: "There’s no career progression in care."
✅ Not true. Many of our team have grown into senior, specialist, and management roles. This is a career, not just a job.

❌ Myth 5: "Carers don’t get any support."
✅ At Home Support Matters, you’re part of a supportive team with ongoing training, regular check-ins, and 24/7 help.

💬 Heard any of these before?
🌟 Now you know the truth.
