Opportunity is knocking to start your career in care...

Coming into care with no experience or training isn't a concern with Routes Academy. We have a dedicated 'Care Cadet' programme which provides you with full, comprehensive training, guidance and support to achieve your Care Certificate and feel confident in your new role.

What does being a Care Assistant mean?

Being a Care Assistant for home care involves providing care to individuals who wish to remain in their own homes but require additional support, often due to age, illness, or disability. You'll play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for these individuals. This includes assisting with daily activities such as personal care, meal preparation, medication management, and companionship.

But working in home care isn't just a job, it's a chance to truly make a difference to someone's life. Think of it as becoming a lifeline and friend to those who find daily tasks a bit challenging. The bonds you form are deep and rewarding, paving the way for immense personal and professional development.
