Right at Home: Back to School

“Back To School”

A phrase that mums & dads up and down the country have been getting used to as summer holidays draw to a close.  Also, a time when students are starting new College and University courses.

But what has that got to do with Care and Caring? Well, when thinking about what to write about this week it occurred to me that this is the perfect time for two groups of people to consider a regular part-time role supporting the elderly in our community.

Companies like Right at Home offer flexible working to fit with your lifestyle, family commitments and availability.  While full time roles are also available, many are attracted to the part-time positions we have on offer right now – days, evenings, weekends…whatever works best for you. These are fantastic roles for students, and for parents whose younger kids have started school, or of those who have left home to start University.

University or College Student?

Are you a student with a big heart for helping people? We’re looking for friendly and sociable students to join our award-winning family-feel team of Reading & Wokingham District CareGivers.   We have some amazing local under (and post) graduates in our team and have space for more.  We offer
