What’s NEW in care
In a new data report, “The Big Shift: Navigating the Future of Work in the UK,” economist Dr. Shashi Karunanethy analyses data from Deputy’s scheduling software and a 2023 worker survey. The report reveals a rise in “poly-employment,” with 16% of care workers holding multiple jobs. Cost pressures are impacting care workers significantly, with 44% reporting stagnant earnings against rising living costs. Over 1.2 million Brits hold two or more jobs, reflecting broader challenges. Jon Wilson of Deputy highlights the need for predictable hours and financial security in sectors like care, hospitality, and retail, where poly-employment is prevalent. At Concept Care, we assure fair treatment for our carers, offering flexible hours that revolve around you.
Specialised care fields and niche opportunities
There many different types of social care career options available. Whilst a huge number of care workers provide social care workers choose to specialise in particular areas of care. Some of those areas include dementia care, palliative care, mental health care, or paediatric care.
These specialising opportunities will boost care workers career development and overtime this gives patients more support and care in different sectors of care.

Quality Spotlight
Capable, Compassionate, and Inclusive Leadership:
At CCCS, inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s ingrained in our DNA. Our leadership mirrors the communities we serve, ensuring every voice matters. Keeping the patients and staff at the forefront is the guiding principle of our leaders. Their leadership is about fostering a culture of trust, openness, and collaboration, where everyone feels empowered to contribute to our collective mission of providing exceptional care.
Creating Safe Environments:
Securing the well-being of both our clients and staff stands as our top priority. Whether it’s through regular equipment maintenance or the optimisation of our facilities and technology, we leave no stone unturned in ensuring the highest standards of safety. For instance, Bethany our care co-ordinator’s commitment to creating a safe space not only brought peace of mind to her clients but also fostered a deep sense of trust and connection within their home.
Person-Centred Care:
At the heart of our mission lies a deep commitment to person-centred care—a belief that every individual deserves to be at the forefront of their journey towards wellness. We don’t just see clients; we see unique stories, aspirations, and dreams. Through genuine collaboration, we craft tailored support plans that honour each individual’s unique needs, preferences, and strengths. For instance, Emelda personalised her care strategy by integrating activities that brought happiness and a sense of satisfaction, such as assisting with her client’s cherished garden.”
