Glad I found this video. I wanted to work in different areas of care. I'm currently working in a care home for people with dementia and was wondering what else is there.
@@ClaireCarmichael Hello Claire. Sorry to butt in but, a very serious question has arisen in my own family, a situation that I, myself, had to face over a number of decades as someone with Asperger's Syndrome, and that is suddenly having to be a sole carer for a parent. A cousin of mine, similarly with Asperger's, is now facing the same difficulty in that he has to look after his mother who has cancer. He's only 23 and has already had problems with addiction and in the process of weaning himself off. He's exhausted already and my great concern is that, with no help, he is going to go rapidly downhill. Whatever advice you can give would be extremely appreciated. Thank you. I'd hate to see history repeating itself upon him, especially when he's going through enough stress already.
@@josefschiltz2192 I'm so sorry they are going through this! Please get them to contact their local support teams, GP, council, social services which can help get support them with funding and carers etc. Also the GP can refer to a 'social prescriber' who will be really good to talk to about this issue and can advise and direct them in the right direction.
@@ClaireCarmichael I suspect some of the difficulty, the invisibility of the situation lies in that people on the spectrum are profiled as being within the care of another and not 'meant' to be the other way round. I've scoured the net, trying different combinations of search words, and it all seems to come around to the same thing. Adults who care for autists. I'm sure, as in my case of over thirty years, there have been - and are - people on the spectrum who are carers, but it's just not expected. I've found some contact details and sent them. Myself, in the midst of 'recovering' from chronic exhaustion and C-PTSD, and being right across the country, can only send details, talk over the phone and try my best to advise. It's frustrating seeing this, as an almost action replay, and annoyingly stuck within my own recovery program and little else - I feel - I can do about it. They being in Shropshire, myself in Suffolk.
@@josefschiltz2192 I know of people who have autism and are carers / nurses / doctors. Autism is varied between each person, and each person is unique and individual and had different support needs (if any at all). But I’m not a specialised in this area, and not sure what the answer is to your problems sadly. But please seek more support from the teams I suggested :) they will be a great help I think. I’m sorry I can’t be any more help than that x
Hair is flippin fab, considering a bob myself at the moment. I have previously done so many care roles including support work in social care- all been so varied and versatile like you have described and all so very much worth while to help and support others the best we can using our own knowledge and skills. I love your vlogs and channel and would love to meet someday as people as we seem to have taken such a very similar journey , best wishes x
Aw do it Katie! 🥰 i didn’t plan on this bob. I just wanted the colour originally. Then I was sat in the chair and made a spontaneous decision 😂🙈 Aw I hope we can meet one day too! :) I always love meeting new people x
@@ClaireCarmichael I think next week ill actually do it - have a hair appointment so watch this space 😊😊 would be so wonderful to meet you too, we may bump into one another in a hospital someday you never know . Sharing such amazing passions for nursing is a lovely thing and I think your amazing x
Petition for new video thumbnails with the cool new hair! 😁😁😁 Also I just realised that I kept calling the Care Home I got interviewed at as a “Nursing Home” but I got the job anyway lol. I didn’t know there was a difference, thank you!
haha! I’m going to need a new one aren’t I 🙈 Aw that’s ok. I’m sure no one minds haha! I often say nursing home instead of care / residential home too 🙈
I am a live in unpaid carer who has been doing this job for nearly 10 years and if it had not been my family I would have walked long ago as being unpaid or seen as volunteer is soul destroying a small wage for all we do is not a big request or undeserved. I love your enthusiasm for the profession
Ohhh wowwww! You're so inspiring Claire..I've learned a lot from this vidio couz I feel the sincerity I every words you say & I loved it! More power to you & I hope one day I will also be a carer in UK❤🙏
Hello C C.yuor videos are very much inspiring.I lot of agents have cheated me to go to abroad.Finally I found your video today and again got a spirit to go UK and serve there for the prosperity of humanity.As l have diploma in pharmacy since 2002.and have a long experience.So my question is that can l serve there as a care worker or support worker? With best regards Sher SinghThakur India
I think.... it's when patients get sent home from hospital with care from carers / healthcare assistants etc. If they need extra care at home. If that makes sense.
Hi there :) The role is similar to a carer but with more responsibility. So they will organise the shift, delegate to staff, organise activities, give medications. But the role varies from place to place and what is expected :)
Im not your stereo typical person you think of as a carer, but am interested in making this career choice. My question is, being male and 50 with a mixed work history and no paid carer experience, could I be realistically employed? For 10 yrs ive cared for my autistic son, and increasingly dissabled wife. The aspect that scares me the most, re carer, is the toileting and showering side of things. But it seems an industry thats in plentiful demand and pays ok. Applying for my enhanced DBS check Tomorrow.
Ive got 2 carer interviews tommorow 😱. Both for home care. Was just browsing health care vids to get in the frame of mind and yours popped up again. Just thought I'd mention it. 👍
You have already demonstrated you care. The courses on toileting and showering are thorough. Courses also cover ethics and procedures and more which will fill in gaps of your concerns. Hopefully. you know of mentors which can help with your journey. It is a very rewarding field I started at about your age.
Hey, I’m ok thank you! Getting there haha! It’s very tough, but you just have to be there for them. Listen to their concerns, don’t judge and be kind 💗 hopefully you’ll be the difference that stops them :) xx
@@chillpillstars8494 it would have to be a discussion between yourself and management sadly. I’m not sure they would agree or not to this as we should be caring for all patients :(
@@ClaireCarmichael i want to knkw if we apply for uk carer visa ..is there also job responsibilty to clean the mess of patient n changing there diapers
Hello Claire! I really want to work in mental health and what you mention about mental health rehabilitation support worker, sounds really what I am after. I'm looking on socialcare (thank you for the website) but any places you know where i can find such roles i would be really appreciative! I've tried looking prior to watching this video and not having much luck.
@@ClaireCarmichael thank you for the response :) I've looked on indeed and also browsed the NHS websites, their career path is helpful: looking at psychology next year; but some of the ones that look hopeful unfortunately require experience or some type of certification. I've opted to volunteer with 'Mind' and also the Maudsley. got my eye on bethlem hospital in croydon area, as they are art related, and my background is in the arts. ah well! will keep hunting. thank youuuu
Hi Clare, really enjoyed your video. Have you heard of PHCHomeCare? I saw this on the Sheriffs are coming ua-cam.com/video/VOCS-k6DQzg/v-deo.html and lots of court cases against the owners for not paying their carers. Just wondered if you or anyone else had similar experiences? Good to know if this is more widespread. Thanks and hope everything works out for you
@@ClaireCarmichael Thanks for replying, it awful isn't it, its such a challenging job must be horrendous not to even get paid at the end of it all!! I had a look and that business has got 5 other court cases for not pay their carers... so just wanted to know if anyone else had experience of that sort of thing. Glad to know it isn't normal
ohhhh wow i love ur coloured hair ☺️ really suits you 😊
Morning! Thank you so much :) I needed a change up haha x

Wow this job is fit for me.

Want to work as a senior carer asistant

I think.... it's when patients get sent home from hospital with care from carers / healthcare assistants etc. If they need extra care at home. If that makes sense.
Hello Good Morning please I would like you to talk about Care home that are presently recruiting Healthcare Assistant in UK now thank you.
Lots of care homes are looking for healthcare assistant. You need to check online job sites and search :)
I love this can i be helped have this job am a registered nurse
M having difficulty in understanding the role of a senior carer
Hi there :)
The role is similar to a carer but with more responsibility. So they will organise the shift, delegate to staff, organise activities, give medications.
But the role varies from place to place and what is expected :)
Hello, would you suggest working as a support worker for people with learning difficulties as a starting point into care? :)
This is educative
Also does carer and support worker jobs overlap
What’s difference between support worker and carer ? They seem very similar
Same thing to be honest just called different names depending where you work :) xx
Im not your stereo typical person you think of as a carer, but am interested in making this career choice. My question is, being male and 50 with a mixed work history and no paid carer experience, could I be realistically employed? For 10 yrs ive cared for my autistic son, and increasingly dissabled wife.

I’d say you have a lot of experience to bring! Life experience with your wife and son 🥺💙 go for it!!
The rest, you’ll get used to :) x
