Thinking About a Career in Care? Here's What You Need to Know
Working in care-especially supporting adults with learning disabilities-is one of the most rewarding jobs you can do. But it's also one of the most demanding. Before you apply, here's a reality check to help you decide if this path is right for you.
It's Not Just a Job-It's a Commitment
You'll be supporting real people with real needs. That means showing up on time, being reliable, and putting others first-even on tough days.
You'll Need Patience and Resilience
Some days will be challenging. You might support someone who doesn't communicate in typical ways, or who expresses frustration through behaviour. Staying calm, kind, and professional is essential.
It's Not All Smiles and Hugs
You might help with personal care, cleaning, or supporting someone through a medical appointment.
Shifts Can Be Long and Unpredictable
Care doesn't stop at 5pm. You might work evenings, weekends, or overnight. Flexibility is key.
But the Rewards Are Real
You'll build genuine relationships. You'll help someone achieve something they never thought possible. You'll go home knowing you made a difference.
With PossAbilities you will:
Deliver excellent care and support to each individual you work with. Excellent means that it is safe, personal to each individual, is respectful, maintains their dignity, and is carried out according to their needs and preferences.
Provide each individual with excellent quality personal care. This includes helping people maintain good personal hygiene, washing, dressing, oral hygiene and nail care
Manage medication according to the person's needs. You ensure that the individual receives the right medication, in the right dose, at the right time, and support them at the appropriate level
Prepare meals and help people to eat where they need this according to individual dietary requirements.
Help with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, ironing, shopping
Support people to have a social and active lifestyle according to what they want
Provide companionship, helping people to feel less isolated
Work closely with our Support Officers to help plan and review care and support needs and activities in line with each person's needs and aspirations
Record the care and support you provide, the feedback from the people you support, and any important information that helps your peers and manager continue to deliver excellent care and support
Report and record any concerns you have about a person's well-being
