With a shortage of carers available to fill care roles across the country the government have launched a scheme to try to encourage young people to pursue a career in care.

Young people in England are being targeted by the government in a bid to recruit thousands of more care workers. The Every Day is Different campaign will be promoted on social media and online platforms to get the under-40s to take up jobs such as care workers, therapists and activity co-ordinators.

There are currently more than 100,000 vacancies in the sector – a figure which some warn may rise after Brexit. It comes as a report says a lack of community staff may damage the NHS.

If you would like to become a carer, Everycare can offer full training and support to help you become a care giver. Contact us now for details of all our current vacancies on 01323 430762.

We are currently recruiting:-

Please note all roles require an enhanced DBS and for some roles you will need to be a car driver.

Everycare Eastbourne are specialists in providing care to people with dementia yet a recent study shows many people do not understand the disease or the risk factors associated with it.

Half of UK adults cannot identify any key risk factors for dementia, according to a study by Alzheimer’s Research UK.

The charity surveyed 2,361 people and found that only 1% were able to name the seven known risk or protective factors for dementia.

The six risk factors are heavy drinking, genetics, smoking, high blood pressure, depression and diabetes.

Physical exercise is a protective factor against the disease.

The study, entitled Dementia Attitudes Monitor, found that more than half of UK adults now know someone with dementia.

‘We have been providing care to clients with dementia for over 20 years’ said Tracy Sampson, Everycare’s registered manager ‘and yet so many people have little or no idea how to help reduce the risk of them developing the disease’. If a family member or loved one are struggling with dementia, contact us to see how we can help on 01323 430762.

The Everycare offices will be open the following dates over the festive period

During this time, as normal, we will be operating our 24 hour on call service. For any enquiries about live in care, home care or our nursing service out of office hours please call our normal office number 01323 430762.
