Just a Carer

Knowledge, Dignity and Compassion, these are the values at the very heart of Lapis Care, your local domiciliary Care provider, who continue to raise the profile of care.

Our new Registered manager, Lena LeMesurier has taken the reins and is continuing to deliver the high standard of care, that you would expect from an award-winning care provider. Our Director, Liz Blacklock, has been given a chance to focus on changes that are desperately needed in the care industry and awareness of the professionalism of care.

Recently appointed as a Director of National Association Care and Support workers (NACAS), Liz is creating professional relationships with Care England, Championing Social Care and even visiting the House of Lords in order to change the public perception of Social Care and its workforce. In doing this, we want to implement the registration of ‘Care Professional’s’ as the legal title for a ‘carer’. No more “they’re just a carer”.

Everyone has been, or will experience, care at some point in their lives, even if not for themselves but for family or friends.

Carers should be known worldwide as professionals. Their work involves completing a person’s whole day, from washing, dressing, medication, food preparation, socialisation, organisation, cleaning and so much more. The physical and emotional strain for a carer is tough and the pure passion and empathy that is behind the work they do is outstanding.

No matter who you are, our health is something that we must look after and unfortunately is often out of our control. A carer will step in at some of the hardest parts of a person’s life, to make things easier and help them continue the best quality of life. However, for years a negative stigma has been formed around the care profession and we have heard it too many times, ‘Just a carer’. Lapis Care want this to stop.

In order to make a change locally we have to initiate changes nationally. This is the time now to make difference and spread the awareness and acknowledgment of ‘Care Professionals’.

I was recently challenged by @volkswagensouthafrica to spot their logo in unusual places. So I got some friends together and went on a trip! Now I'm challenging you to find the VW logo and share your #VWEverywhere moments! #NotJustACar http://ift.tt/2x4ynvn

Do you have a preconceived idea about working in care?

The role of a carer is often misunderstood, as many people are unaware of the real value that it brings. At Home Instead, our mission to increase the world’s capacity to care.

We match our Care Professionals with their clients based on interests and personality, and so naturally we have a broad mix of people in our team, each of whom brings their own unique personality and experiences to the role.

However, there is a common thread that bonds them together, something that goes beyond their natural caring nature, it’s a genuine appreciation of the importance of making a difference to the lives of their clients, and how this makes a positive difference to their own lives.

Hear what our ex-forces veteran Pete has to say about his experience as a Care Professional with Home Instead. You can begin a meaningful career with Home Instead, where we believe there’s no such thing as just a carer. Visit https://homeinstead.co.uk/notjustacarer/
