For those looking for work, the country’s borders are no longer an obstacle. Better employment prospects and higher wages mean that many people decide to leave Poland. An interesting opportunity for well-paid work is a career as a caregiver for seniors in England. In connection with its continued development and the start of operations on the English market, Promedica24, the European leader in home-care services for older people, is currently seeking candidates for this type of work.
According to data from the Central Statistical Office, around 1.8 million unemployed people are registered in our country. It is still difficult to find any work in Poland, let alone a job guaranteeing decent earnings. It is therefore hardly surprising that so many Poles look for work abroad. In such a situation, it is worth choosing professions with a future, in which workers will always be sought after and well paid. Due to the ageing of society, one such profession is caring for older people. Demand for this type of professional is constantly growing in many countries, including England, as a result of high average life expectancy, a modern care system and effective preventive healthcare.
What does it take to become a caregiver for seniors in England?
Several months ago, the Polish company Promedica24, the European leader in care for older people, entered the English market. The company is currently looking for people interested in working in England. Polish caregivers are highly valued in other countries. Care recipients and their families highlight our caregivers’ commitment and empathy, as well as their patience and willingness to help others. That is why so many attractive job offers await them,” says Małgorzata Niedworok, Director of the Wrocław Region.
People interested in working in England must know English at at least a communicative level and have experience in caregiving. For those who are unsure of their skills, our company organises numerous courses and training sessions, so even caregivers without many years of experience are well prepared for work abroad,” adds Małgorzata Niedworok.
Advantages of working as a caregiver for older people
Working as a caregiver for seniors is demanding but well paid. It also does not involve moving abroad permanently—you can choose a contract lasting several months. Importantly, it is fully legal and safe work. Caregivers working with us do not have to worry about anything, because we organise transport to and from the country, accommodation and meals,” emphasises Małgorzata Niedworok of Promedica24. “We also provide insurance. As a result, unlike people working illegally, caregivers can use medical facilities if necessary. In addition, while working abroad, they remain in constant contact with dedicated Contract Coordinators, who help resolve any problems on site,” adds Małgorzata Niedworok.
People interested in working in England as a caregiver for an older person are invited to BRITISH DAY on 25 February 2015 at the Bolesławiec branch, Rynek 38/13. On that day, it will be possible to test your knowledge of English and learn about employment opportunities. More information is available by phone: 519 690 458. We look forward to seeing you!
