Hints and Tips to Thrive
There are lots of helpful schemes that allow carers and social workers to save money, time and get the most out of their day. That’s why we’ve collated some of our top tips, helping our Walfinch carers to thrive.
Money Savers and perks
Blue Light Card
If you’re working in care or are looking to get into care, make sure to claim your blue-light card. This gives you discounts on restaurants, days out, and selected shops.
Workplace pension scheme
Join an organisation that puts your future first – by keeping your pension in-mind, you can save money to thrive later.
On-the-go helpers
Waze and Google Maps
Downloading route-finders such as Waze or Google Maps can provide you with live traffic updates and most-efficient routes to clients’ homes.
Birdie app for care plan updates
We use the Birdie app to update care plans and help carers quickly communicate changes and updates throughout the day. It’s collaborative and easy-to-use, keeping you on track.
Health & wellbeing
Annual flu jab (and Covid boosters where advised)
This keeps you, your family, and your clients safe. When working in a job where you visit lots of people, it’s important to prioritise your health.
Wellbeing apps: Headspace and NHS Every Mind Matters
When you work on-the-go, it’s easy to forget to look after your mental health. These apps help you put aside dedicated time to relax, talk, and keep an eye on your wellbeing.Grow & Develop
Career development and upskilling
NVQ/Diploma in Health & Social Care
Gaining this qualification could help develop your career and boost your pay. At Walfinch, we actively encourage our carers to pursue additional training – providing them with the resources to thrive.
Become involved in Thrive Clubs
Have a knack for organising and hosting events? You might want to get more involved in our Thrive Club initiative – a free, accessible exercise class attended by clients and people in the wider community.
At Walfinch, we believe carers should thrive – not just at work, but in life. Keep this checklist handy and use these tips to make the most of your journey with us.
PS. Do you know someone who could care professionally?
Psst. Do you know someone who’d make a fantastic carer? We have a scheme that means you’re rewarded every time you refer a successful applicant to us. Not only does that mean you get to work with your friends, but you also get rewarded for pointing them in our direction. It’s a win-win! Ensure to ask the team for more information about this.
