Interview with Stephan, a live-in carer from Romania
What part are of Romania are you from and how long have you lived there?
I come from Buzău in the South-East of Romania and I have lived there most of my life. It is a small industrial town, the administration centre of Buzău County.
How did you hear about Helping Hands when in Romania?
I Googled it with the search terms “best care company in UK” and the results was only one, Helping Hands Home Care.
Why did you choose to work for Helping Hands? Why live-in care?
I did not see a single negative employee or customer review. The company is a family run business, which have been around for over 25 years. Knowing that they are a growing company, and having long-term work placements was important to me.
How long did it take you to apply, train and start work with Helping Hands?
I applied in less than 5 minutes and I received a phone call the next morning. Training took one week, and than after 3-4 days I was already in the customer’s home working on my first full time live-in care placement.
How did you find the training?
The training was intense, it covered all aspects of live-in care work, and I was thoroughly tested at the end of the week, but this gave me the confidence to provide the best possible care.
What do you like about being a carer with Helping Hands?
As a live-in carer you have the chance to really improve the customer’s life by being able to focus on 1-2-1 care, with the benefits of occurring no live-in costs for me.
How have you found your experiences so far at Helping Hands?
Helping Hands has given me the opportunity to develop my professional, communication and care skills.
What advice would you give to another Romanian considering joining Helping Hands as a carer?
As a Romanian, I would tell him or her that the company is very professional, and the amount of help you receive before and during employment is unheard of as compared to other companies in the field. I would tell him or her to apply now in absolute confidence.
