Proud to Care Cornwall
The role of care workers in our communities could not be more vital than it is today.
Care workers provide an essential service. They visit people in their homes to help them remain independent. They also support them in residential homes. Each carer’s contribution is invaluable to helping others live their lives. As a care worker the small things that you do could help make a big difference to someone’s life.
That is why Proud to Care was launched – to tell people about how rewarding a career in health and social can be.
You can choose to work with:
- disabled people
- older people
- people who use mental health service or
- people with a learning disability
You may help with:
- Preparing meals, shopping and other outings, or providing interesting activities
- Washing, eating, going to the toilet, dealing with emotional difficulties
Read more about what our workers do:
- Adult social care is a growing sector. This means that there are lots of opportunities for you to develop your career.
- Could you make a difference?
- Are you Proud to Care?
