Benefits of working in homecare
Flexible hours
A benefit of home care nursing is flexible hours. If you are not looking for the typical 9-5 then you have the option to work shifts. These shift patterns can work around your lifestyle e.g. if you are studying or have a young family. There is freedom in being able to work as little or as often as you want to suit your lifestyle.
Building personal relationships
Working as a home carer is very fulfilling. You build relationships with your clients which are different from those you would not necessarily make working in a large establishment like a practice or hospital. Your daily interaction with your client can make a real difference and ensure they do not feel isolated and lonely. Families and friends of your clients also benefit from your care as you will be helping make their lives easier and relieve some of the stress brought along with their loved one’s illnesses. Your work allows you to build relationships and a unique bond with the wider family and friends.
Making a real difference
Helping someone in need every day and making their life easier not only benefits them greatly but is also a great benefit to you. Knowing that you are helping your client still maintain a fraction of their normal life in the comfort of their own home is a great personal achievement. You can offer the support and care that they require
Developing skills
Each client is completely different. From your first day, you could be managing Infants, children or adults with wounds, injuries, or chronic conditions. Some may depend on advanced technological machines or medical equipment for nutrition and respiration which require your daily support and expertise. No one day will be the same. You will be developing your skills daily, whether that is learning about new medical equipment or ways to care for different age groups such as paediatric or adult care.
