OUR CARERS

Our carers are the lifeblood of our service. We Care, Teach, Train's strengths rely on our kind, professional and dedicated carers and their continous training.

Each worker is recruited and trained to deliver an exceptional level of care. We have a team of experienced and caring professionals, ensuring services are provided at the highest standards at all times.

ABOUT US

The founders, José and Liliana, developed in London initiatives with the English and Portuguese communities, mainly in the education and social care sector. During those times, both had experienced difficulty accessing the right quality of care for close relatives back home. This made them realize the need for non-medical home care and elder companionship services to help seniors live independently. Since then, they treasured the idea of building up a company that can provide one-to-one quality care so that people can continue to live as independently as possible in the comfort of their own homes. Concerned about the well-being and quality of life of all those of advanced years, they decided to embrace this project to provide care and support for adults and older people in their own homes. “We believe in good old fashioned service. That is why we visit our clients regularly to make sure that they are happy with the service. By doing this, we can ensure we are continually delivering the right service.” Liliana Ferreira, Director.

JOBS

It is sometimes difficult to generalize about what the role of a care worker is. The best way of summing it up is that we might perform the tasks carried out by a close friend or relative but in a trained, professional and knowledgeable way.
In order to do this successfully the Care Worker must be aware of the needs and requirements of the customer and must communicate successfully not only with the customer but also with other stakeholders such as family, friends and other healthcare professionals. The care worker also has a responsibility to alert the supervisor of any changes or causes for concern in the customer's condition.
There will be specific tasks identified for a particular customer. These may include cooking and/or preparing meals and possibly assistance with feeding. Housekeeping and laundry as well as personal care may also be part of the role.
The Care Worker will be briefed before undertaking any assignment with the specific tasks involved but in every case it is incumbent upon the care worker to carry out the work in a safe and professional way and to adhere to the specific instructions as well as the policies and procedures of the company.

Care Workers are frequently the only people that a customer may see on a daily basis and clearly there is a responsibility to report any relevant information back to the supervisor. It is not the role of the care worker to become involved in notifying family, friends or relatives of changes. This will be carried out by the Technical Director, based on the advice received from the care worker. The care worker does not have responsibility for staff. It should be clearly understood that the role requires a great deal, sometimes both in physical and emotional ways, and also carries a weight of responsibility.
Anyone who does not genuinely care about the welfare of other people will not be suitable for this job.
The permanent equipment provided by We Care, Teach, Train such as identity badge and any other equipment required to carry out the role, are the responsibility of the care worker as is making sure that consumables such as disposable gloves and aprons are available and not in short supply.
Whilst the supply and upkeep of any equipment such as wheelchairs and hoists are not the responsibility of We Care, Teach, Train or its employees, it is expected that causes for concern with any of such items would be passed by the care worker to the supervisor.
