An ideal opportunity for students studying care, health or social sciences, has opened up with Right at Home GF whose team supports clients across north-east Hampshire and south-west Surrey. Put into practice the lessons you’re learning with hands-on experience.

Students pursuing a career in the care sector can often be held back by lack of experience. With Right at Home GF you have a real chance to put your studies into practice.

“Most of us have faced the hurdle of ‘experience required’, when trying to start our career,” explains Gracie Byford-Smith, Training & Recruitment Manager at Right at Home GF. “We want to offer students – particularly of care, health or social sciences – the chance to gain crucial experience outside of the classroom and be a trusted source of care and support to real people in the local community. We offer flexible shifts which many of our CareGivers really appreciate. What’s more, we offer our own high-standard training, which will look excellent on your CV in the future.” 

The national Right at Home brand operates from 59 locally-owned offices across the UK and recently won the 5-star Employer award from Workbuzz. As it pushes forward to become the UK’s number one homecare provider, Right at Home is expanding its CareGiver team and hoping to recruit 50 people over the next few months, including students looking for work.

CareGivers offer a range of services from personal care and medication reminders, to meal preparation and transport for errands and are committed to spending time with Clients for a one- hour minimum visit. As well as day-to-day care, Right at Home CareGivers support Clients through meaningful companionship and social activity by supporting them to continue pursuing activities and interests which they have enjoyed in previous years.

More than a job, Right at Home offers a career in care and an opportunity to achieve recognised care qualifications. With flexible working arrangements, excellent pay plus travel time, and the opportunity to really make a difference to people’s lives, Right at Home offers caring and compassionate people a way to reach their full potential.
