If you are considering starting a rewarding career in care, you may ask yourself, how do I train to become a live-in carer? We are here to help answer this question.
Although formal carer qualifications can be beneficial for showing your knowledge and skills, at Oxford Aunts we look beyond qualifications and consider experience across a range of care settings. This includes residential care or nursing homes, home care agencies or rest homes. If you have previously worked as a nurse, we believe that you will have the skills to be an Oxford Aunts carer. We will also consider experience gained from volunteering with charities involved in supporting disabled or older people.
Our aim is to look for individuals who are empathetic and have a strong desire to help others, however we support all our workers wishing to obtain further training and qualifications.
