Our Involvement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oxford House Community Care are pleased to announce that we are participating in the \u2018local heroes wanted campaign\u2019 alongside Slough Borough Council and other stakeholders across East Berkshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This campaign is aimed towards helping the young and older generation in finding new careers and return to employment following the recent pandemic. This is a brilliant opportunity to not only help the community, but also increase the awareness of potential long-term careers available within the care industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what our Managing Partner Tony Johnston has to say;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2019   Adult social care is an industry where young people can forge a fantastic career, with training, support and amazing experience from day one. Many of our service users especially gel with younger members of the team who are so full of energy and enthusiasm.<\/p>

\u201cWe welcome people from all backgrounds, with all kinds of experience. Care can be transformational for people and it is wonderful to see the impact you can make on people\u2019s lives. Very few careers offer this kind of motivation and reward.\u201d                                                       \u2018\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Care Industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With everyone recently inspired by our key workers response in the pandemic, the campaign is aimed towards not only increasing the volume of newcomers to the industry, but also to remove all negative misinterpretations around becoming a care worker. This is an industry that offers young people the chance to create their own pathway and potentially reach senior positions, or experienced workers who can transform skills learned from other sectors to provide compassionate care to clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care work is a job that comes with great responsibility but is also one of the most rewarding in terms of personal satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many inspiring stories created by staff, we thought we would share a few with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
