The results paint an interesting picture that shows work-life satisfaction is enhanced when workers have the freedom to choose their own employment.

When you are providing one to one support and working in someone's home, it important to have a clear understanding of the work involved and to carefully consider if you are adequately trained and qualified for the work. Care and support needs change over time and as a carer, you need to continually review your work and consider this. 

Find a Carer encourages all registered care and support workers to offer a free meet and greet appointment to potential clients. This meeting is vital to determine if the fit will be right for you as a carer and for the potential client. It's not just about determining what the work involves but also how you think you will get along with the person you are supporting and their family supports - it's all about the relationship. We've put together some meet and greet tips and ideas.
