Why is this a crucial role?
Without community carers the NHS crumbles.

Abuse goes unnoticed, people have more falls an injury with no support, peoples mental health plummets because they have no one to speak to.

People bed block in hospital because there are no care packages to discharge them safely to their home where they long to be.

You are needed to make a difference and the misconception that carers are brew makers must change We change lives MoralCare is making a difference to the sector, but we need your support to do it

Lets play MYTHBUSTERS

DID YOU KNOW? The average daily work commute in the North West is 20 miles? Our community carers travel only 10 miles per shift. Our carers are paid for all miles they cover, PLUS we pay them for their travelling TIME whilst they drive to their next job - that means getting paid to bop away to some music or make a hands-free personal call. One of the many MoralCare perks

MYTH:
Care work is a low paid and unappreciated job.

BUSTED:
We pay £11.05ph + mileage We work on the front line with our team and make sure staff satisfaction is one of our main priorities.

Managers and our services users appreciate the front line to no end - including the public One of our carers had a chocolate bar left on their windscreens by a member of public to thank them for their service.

MYTH:
I'll have a different rota every week. I won't be able to plan my life around it.

BUSTED:
We have a CONTRACTED shift schedule so carers know when they're working, and when they're not

MYTH:
I will be unsupported by management and expected to do things they wouldn't dream of doing.

BUSTED:
Our managers work on the front line and have a zero tolerance policy to poor treatment to our front line heroes.

MYTH:
I'll be sent to the moon and back, and be expected to do it in 5 minutes.

BUSTED:
All of our jobs are within Morecambe and are in exceptionally close range, tight knit bubbles.

MYTH:
I'll be sent to places I dont know and service users I wont know.
**BUSTED: We ensure you meet all service users du
