Responsibilities of care professionals

Why keeping good domiciliary care records matters.

Gain a good understanding of what's expected of you in your caring role, as well as why the 'administrative' jobs like record-keeping are just as important as the compassionate care and support you deliver each day.

This webinar was delivered in partnership with NACAS - driving change for care professionals.

Handling challenges gracefully

Learn the power of mindset and turn challenges into growth.

Resilience tools for when you feel triggered, so you can continue to care calmly in the moment, and healthily let-off steam afterwards.

Join Helen Gruber from Pastora - care-experienced coaches and trainers - as she shares actionable tips on changing the way we think about challenges, and what we can do to reduce their impact on us, and those we care for.

Crafting a career in homecare

Is the sky the limit for working in care?

Care is a misunderstood profession and NACAS' Liz Blacklock is on a mission to change that.

Care offers plentiful opportunities to climb the leadership ladder, as well as to enjoy feeling fulfilled by a good day's work on a good's day pay.

In this session, Liz shares her vision for building a successful career in care.

Caring for people with dementia

Learn how to better support someone with dementia.

Supporting someone living with dementia can feel very lonely and isolating. It can be difficult for care workers to deal with some of the behaviours that are associated with dementia.

Behaviour analyst Dr Emma Williams of PACT explains why some of these behaviours happen and offers guidance on positive, practical and effective support.
