23 Feb Empowering Lives and Enriching Communities: Be Caring’s New Service in Sheffield
We are thrilled to announce Be Caring’s expansion to Sheffield with the opening of our seventh homecare service. We will be bringing our unique care model and commitment to improving conditions for Care Workers to the areas of Birley, Beighton, and Mosborough, a move that brings us one step closer to achieving our mission of shaping the future of Social Care.
Following the triumphant establishment of our Bradford service, we’re thrilled to extend our mission of person-centred care to Sheffield, ensuring every individual we support can lead a life rich in independence and dignity.
At Be Caring, we understand that true care goes beyond routine tasks. It’s about listening, understanding, and tailoring our support to meet the unique needs and aspirations of each person. It’s this thinking that underpins our Above & Beyond scheme, enabling our Care Workers to forge meaningful connections and deliver care that truly makes a difference.
Our approach is rooted in respect and empowerment for both our clients and Care Workers. Through our innovative shift pay model, we ensure our team is supported to spend quality time with clients, fostering a deeper understanding and enabling those little extras that mean so much. It’s about more than just care; it’s about enriching lives. Take, for example, the story of Kelly and Louise*.
Our Care Worker Kelly noticed that Louise*, was not her usual cheerful self and was feeling low during her morning call. After speaking to both Louise and our office team, Kelly agreed to return to Louise’s home during a gap in her rota, to accompany her on a walk with her dog. Kelly then prepared a warm meal for Louise and sat with her while she ate, chatting throughout. Louise appreciated the fresh air and company and felt much better after Kelly’s visit. Recognising a need, Kelly went the extra mile, offering companionship and a listening ear when it mattered most. It’s these moments of genuine connection that embody the values of Be Caring.
Our expansion into Sheffield is more than just growth; it’s a reiteration of our mission to support our team, providing clear pathways for personal and professional development. Our Regional Trainers, once Care Workers themselves, are a testament to the possibilities within Be Caring, embodying our belief in the potential of every individual.
Hearing from Olayemi, our Bradford Trainer, reinforces the encouraging environment we strive to create for our teams,
“Be Caring is like a family to me. I am supported and encouraged in my role, and this helps me to be a better person,”
Our commitment is reflected in the feedback from our team, with 92% recommending Be Caring as a workplace of choice. This is a place where you’re not just doing a job; you’re making a real impact.
The Sheffield service signifies an exciting milestone, not only increasing our weekly care provision to 18,500 hours but also creating 100 job opportunities in the region. As an employee-owned organisation, we’re proud to offer a welcoming £300 bonus to new Care Workers, alongside incentives for current staff who help grow our team through referrals.
If you’re inspired by the vision of making a difference in the lives of others and resonate with our values, we’d love for you to join us. Explore our vacancies and start a fulfilling career with Be Caring. Together, let’s create a future where everyone is cared for, valued, and connected.
