July is Good Care Month – a time to recognise the incredible dedication and compassion of those working, or wanting to make a career change and work in Social Care

The Social Care sector offers a multitude of rewarding opportunities, and welcomes people from all walks of life, regardless of previous experience. Here at Vetro Recruitment, we're passionate about connecting talented individuals with fulfilling roles in Social Care.

Why Choose Social Care?

There are countless reasons to consider a career in Social Care. Here are just a few:

  • Make a real difference: Every day, you'll directly impact the lives of others, providing vital support and care to those who need it most.
  • Variety and challenge: Social Care encompasses a wide range of roles, ensuring no two days are ever the same. You'll constantly learn and develop new skills.
  • Rewarding relationships: Building trust and rapport is incredibly rewarding. Witnessing the progress of those you care for and knowing you played a part is truly fulfilling.
  • Supportive environment: Social Care teams are close-knit and collaborative. You'll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your passion for helping others.

James’ Journey into Social Care

James Huxtable

We recently helped James, who previously worked in Sales, find his perfect fit as a Children's Support Worker. Here's what he had to say about his career change:

"For a long time, I worked in jobs that didn’t provide true satisfaction. I constantly pushed for the next sale, worried about hitting monthly targets, battled self-doubt, lost my passion, and was always on the go without any real sense of reward,” James explained.

“I knew I needed a change to keep going. Jordan, at Vetro Recruitment, called me with an opportunity to work in a children’s home, a complete career change! Being so money-motivated, I initially focused on the salary rather than the role’s true meaning. That night, I went home and thought deeply about it. What if this was the step I needed to climb my own personal ladder? Also, the job satisfaction from helping and supporting young children would be invaluable with the biggest rewards”, added James. 

James was offered the role of a Key Worker for a new child in a Children's Residential home. 

“The feeling of achievement was amazing,” James added. 

“It is a step closer to where I want to be! Keep working, and if it’s not working, change it!” 

James’ story is a perfect example of how Social Care offers fulfilling opportunities for those seeking a career change.
