I'm a care assistant too and it is true that the 6c's are everything in this role. I've become emotional watching your video. I share the same passion for my job, I'm in a care home now but I was doing home care before. So rewarding. I love my elderly people. If I ever become a nurse I'd love to continue working with them.

I love this video because I’m applying for the next Health Care Assistant course in my local area. It’s a Pre-Nursing course. I’m looking forward to it. All of a sudden at 38 I’ve decided to do this. I have a degree in Business Tourism which I’ve never used and since college I’ve worked on several places, neither related to my degree. I thought I was set in a career for life when I got a job in media but I used to spend 6 hours a day in the car getting to and from work so I had to give that up after 11 years. I took some time out to have a family and I’m working again in a shop but I’m really hoping to get in the next course that becomes available.

Great video! Ive done HCA role for about 6 years now, community care, home care and now I'm going into the NHS to hopefully further my skills and hopefully I can do a fast track nursing degree. I loved that you included the 6'c of care, its sad that a lot of people heading into care do not share these core competencies which are vital when heading into care, especially when you mentioned about phoning in sick and being late affects the home, 100% valid and is one of my pet peeves in care. If you don't care then its not the job for you is what I say. Great video x

Loved this vlog Claire. Every word you say is so true. That was the hardest thing I had to do was last offices. As a team leader I had to call family, Drs and undertaker and it was hard. The first time was horrible because of the nurse that was on that day. He was so horrible, it was my first time and when I got out the room I had tears in my eyes and he told me to stop been so emotional.. I wasn’t even full crying just experienced my first deaf for goodness sake!

Thank you for this Clair. I'm actually down for the Heathcare Assistant Programme in the city I live in. Never ever done anything like this before as my background is security - of where I have worked for approximately 20 years. In saying this though I was recently asked in a job interview what my weakness was (as employers mostly ask what your strengths are, right?) I didn't have to think about it and probably blurted it out too fast but I said - ''Compassion''. When I went home and thought about what I had said I started to join the dots. When I moved into this area 10 years ago I was actively picking up the elderly from the bus stops, and taking them to the rest homes where their spouses were. If I'm being completely honest with myself - most of my friends / mates are of a mature age as opposed to people my own age. To me the elderly have so much rich history to offer. What was it like during WW2 and how did your family cope when they had to eat dripping instead of butter on their bread, stories like this and many more. I have always had a strong sense of protection for people but this knows no bounds when I see they are helpless, harmless, vunerable and in need of a friend. I will do what I can and if this position will allow me to do that, and with the guidance of my tutors (hopefully they will have patience with me) I will try to be that person that has that empathy and aroha that the position requires.
@ClaireCarmichael
@ClaireCarmichael 10 месяцев назад
It sounds like you have it already and don't even know it ❤️ You have emotional intelligence because you recognise your weakness and want to improve. If they ask about weakness again, always back it up with 'this is how Ianage my weakness' so they know that you recognise it, but what you're doing about it too. Because we aren't perfect, we all have weaknesses. But it's important to recognise them and improve :) x

Hi Marta, no you don’t need any extra qualifications like university to become a band 3 :) they can train you on the job for this.

Hi love! I have a random q.... I'm currently studying Psychology at the University of Liverpool. Hoping to eventually become a clincal psyc. I wondered if you know of any psycs in your workplace who took a job such as a healthcare assistant after graduation? We must do atleast one year in a clinical based profession. Whilst and AP (assistant psyc) would be the best one, it's HIGHLY competitive. Support worker/healthcare assistant/wellbeing practioner seem to be the next 'alternatives' to gain relevant clinical experiance.

You have to apply to university in UK if you want to do your nursing. You will need a nursing degree, which the standard one is 3 years long and you will have to fund this yourself. You can also try and find an employer to sponsor you to work here in the uk as a healthcare assistant / trainee nursing apprenticeship as well. There are many different routes to look at. So have a search and find what’s best for you :)

Absolutely! I would never leave a patient sitting in their own faeces, when they can’t help themselves. X

Yes. First week on my own, and thats exactly what I had to do when an elderly gentleman went in his pads on his way to the toilet... I thought Id be repulsed by this part of the job, but you get on and deal with it, and help the patient/customer.

Were you at any point as a HCA or student treated badly by a fellow colleague or senior colleague, if yes, how did you handle it and how did it make you feel

@ClaireCarmichael 3 года назад
Hi! As a student, there was one person who used to speak to me badly. So I killed them with kindness and carried on 🤷🏻‍♀️ I did also report it but not much got done about it and I wasn’t confident enough at the time to do more about it. I also witnessed a HCA abuse a patient once! They never did it again! I reported it, and other people came forward too and they were sacked ❤️ xx
