The recruitment process of hiring staff can be a long, bureaucratic and expensive process (DBS fees, training, uniforms etc). We at Victoria Care Services want to help you avoid this process in times of shortness or sickness of your staff and when you need qualified professionals urgently. We want to be there for you when you most need support. Does this sound like something that may interest you?

If so, let us briefly introduce ourselves. Victoria Care Services Ltd was established in 2011 and has been operating as a Social Care Agency since this time. We recruit, train and supply social care workers and registered nurses to work assignments on a temporary or longer term basis in organisational settings such as:

• Nursing & residential care homes
• Independent hospitals
• Residential schools
• Rehabilitation centres

We predominantly supply agency staff to organisations which may be either independent or non profit making.

Recently we have started to provide an Indoor & Outdoor Activity programme for individuals, couples or groups living in the community with the aim of promoting independent living whilst enabling them to enjoy everyday life.

Victoria Care Services in addition to supplying social care workers and registered nurses to work assignments in various organisational settings also support those people who wish to remain at home and help them to be independent for as long as it is possible to do so.

We select and provide social care workers and registered nurses that have appropriate skills, experience and personal qualities to provide the kind of service that our service users and customers have come to expect.

What is the meaning of caring and why is it so important

What is the meaning of caring and why is it so important?

The word ‘caring’, or the verb ‘to care’, has several different meanings and connotations. To care means not only to be cautious, attentive, watchful and helpful, but also to be concerned, interested, compassionate and loving to other things and people. It’s because ‘caring’ involves so many different aspects and variations that it is difficult to pin down his meaning and explain its importance that makes it such a complex art.

 

     

In the health and social care sector the art of ‘caring’ plays a huge and significant role. It is all the positive connotations of the word ‘caring’ that make up good doctors, nurses and carers. It’s precisely because these professionals are constantly dealing with other people that they need all the qualities above; and the people, or the patients they deal with - specifically those with mental or physical disabilities – need special attention and care.

We at Victoria Care Services understand the importance of caring for other people. We value the beauty of this selfless act because we know how much it is appreciated when it is delivered with professionalism and compassion. That is why we at Victoria Care Services are committed in providing a high standard of caring and support work to all our clients and ultimately the service users, whether they are an elderly patient or someone with learning difficulties or someone in mental healthcare. At the end of the day it is all about them.
