🚶♀️🏃♂️ This September, The Good Care Group and Oxford Aunts Care Ltd are moving together in honour of the 982,000 people in the UK living with Alzheimer’s. We set ourselves the challenge of collectively covering 982 miles throughout the month - by walking, running, hiking (and everything in between!). ✨ We’re halfway through September and have already reached 358 miles, an amazing effort so far! Every mile makes a difference. Alongside this, we’re fundraising for The Brain Charity, who provide vital support to people living with neurological conditions. If you’d like to make a donation, you can do so here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eiK_9VYk
Last week, Vicki our recruiter attended the Oxford Job Fair, it was a fantastic day out, meeting local people and exploring what other companies are doing!
It’s Glad to Care Week! 🌟 We’re celebrating the incredible passion and dedication of our care team, and today we’re spotlighting Esther, our amazing Hourly Care Supervisor. For Esther, being glad to care means finding joy in every connection and making a real difference in the lives of those we support ✨💙
Last week, our office staff took part in Wear It Green Day to support Mental Health Awareness Week. By wearing green and collecting donations, we joined people across the UK in backing the Mental Health Foundation’s campaign. The money raised will go directly towards their work promoting good mental health for all – including support, research, and community programmes.

Refreshing knowledge 📚 Every month, we bring a new learning theme to our entire workforce - whether in direct care or not. These themes are shared via weekly bulletins with the latest internal and external updates. For our carers, this means bite-sized learning to keep their skills sharp and knowledge up to date. This helps them deliver quality care, backed by client feedback, peer support, and ongoing supervision. And, our carers participate in an annual face-to-face workshop day covering essential areas like dementia care, medication, and people handling - here are some of our amazing carers! 👏🏼
No professional experience in care? No problem! ⭐️ We’re now recruiting hourly carers with no professional experience needed. If you’re a caring individual with at least three months of care experience in a personal setting only, we’d love to hear from you! We’ve recently launched a new training programme designed for those interested in working in care, even if they have little or no experience. Ella recently started on our step into the care programme, without any professional care experience. See what she had to say in our new blog post.
