Every day, care workers across the UK hold our communities together, yet their stories are rarely heard.

They are the people who make sure your nan takes her medication. Who comfort someone’s dad when he’s confused and afraid. Who bring independence, laughter, and dignity to lives that deserve nothing less.

But behind every act of care is a person, often overworked, underpaid, and still showing up with love. 💚

This week, we’re asking everyone to take a moment to say thank you to someone in care, a neighbour, a colleague, a friend.
Because without them, our country simply wouldn’t function.

👉 Tag a care worker or provider who deserves to be recognised today.

We recruiting for an experienced personal assistant to join R's care team.

🔈Must have a full drivers license & access to own vehicle
🔈Must have experience working in Adult Social Care
🔈We currently do not offer sponsorships.

My name is R and I am 32 years old and live in my own property in Edgbaston, Birmingham currently supported by my team of care staff 24/7.

I am looking for new members to join my team of Personal Assistants who work one to one in supporting me with all aspects of my daily life. I am looking for someone who has good range of communication skills, patient, creative and are good at thinking outside the box. Ideally, you will have experience of working one to one within supported living with individuals who have learning/physical disabilities however, this is not required as excellent training is required with support from an experienced team.

It is important that my care team are passionate about supporting me to become more independent in developing new relationships and pushing past my boundaries. This will enable me to achieve more than I thought possible. This requires you to work in collaboration with other Health Professionals and my support network to make this a reality. It is important that my care staff are able and willing to drive my vehicle to my appointment & activities.

I enjoy going out for a coffee, my favourite being Costa, baking, going out, art, music, playing cards and singing. I am a big Leicester Tigers fan and enjoy going to watch the rugby and spending time with family and friends.

People who know me, describe me as funny, kind, generous, resilient and as a person who knows what she wants out of life. And at times I can be demanding.

Here at Woodford Homecare, we are recruiting an additional team member on behalf of R to enable her to continue in living a fulfilling life within her own home.

Full training in regulated activities provided along with The Care Certificate & a shadowing period in which you will work closely with experience members of the team.

Apply by emailing recruitment@woodfordhomecare.co.uk

It's not uncommon for a person with dementia in care to say they want to go home. This may be caused by time-shifting, when a person believes they're living at an earlier time in their life, or general confusion stemming from memory loss. It can be distressing for everyone.

Read our advice on things to keep in mind when talking to someone in this situation, who keeps expressing a desire to go home: http://spkl.io/6183AMwRl

The Homecare Association has today condemned the Government’s Comprehensive Spending Review and its political choices, as ministers prioritise billions on bombs and NHS expansion over the preventative care and support needed by millions of older and disabled people in our communities.

£68 billion. 1.59 million jobs. 1 ignored sector.

The numbers don’t lie, but it seems decision-makers aren’t listening.

💷 £68.1 billion economic contribution
👩‍⚕️ 1.59 million employees
🏥 £35 saved from the NHS for every £100 spent on care

And now? A freeze on overseas recruitment. No ENICs relief. No plan to fill the staffing black hole.

We know that this is not sustainable.

Care is not optional. It is urgent.

💥 Share this if you believe in building up care, not breaking it down!!💚

🇬🇧 Today We Remember – VE Day 🇬🇧

On this day in 1945, the guns fell silent as World War II came to an end.

We honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all those who served — on the front lines and at home. To our veterans and their families, thank you. Your bravery shaped the world we live in today.

Let us never forget.

❤️🙏🏼
