Sarah’s Carers care company creating dozens of jobs for care practitioners in Suffolk

 

Woodbridge-based home care provider Sarah’s Carers is looking to recruit dozens of care practitioners to help meet “skyrocketing” demand for its live-in care services.

The family-run business, which also has bases in Oxford and Buckinghamshire, is launching a major recruitment campaign to recruit and train 30 live-in care practitioners in Suffolk over the next 12 months.

Sarah Seaman, Founder and Director of Sarah’s Carers, said the company has seen a 200% increase in enquiries for the service since the Covid-19 outbreak began.

“Demand for live-in care services has literally skyrocketed over the last few months, with many families looking into alternative options to residential care for their loved ones.

Far less disruptive than moving into a care facility, live in care supports older people or those with complex needs to stay independent in their own home, surrounded by familiar faces and comforts. Most of us see our home as a safe place, a sanctuary even, and that has become increasingly evident during the pandemic – it’s therefore not surprising to see enquiries for home-based care grow.”

At Sarah’s Carers, care practitioners receive a salary wage, which is paid weekly, and all are entitled to holiday pay, overtime and full ongoing training.

Sarah added “If you are a compassionate and kind individual with previous care experience, becoming a live-in carer could be the ideal next step in your career.

As a live-in carer you will not only support your client with their personal and medical care needs, but you will also become a source of companionship. This is a truly rewarding role which provides the opportunity to make an invaluable difference in the lives of others.”
