Barnet residents interested in exploring careers in the borough’s large adult care sector, were recently invited to a recruitment event at Middlesex University.
Hosted by Barnet Council and BOOST, the fair was an opportunity for job seekers to meet with over 20 different local employers, discuss opportunities and take the next steps to finding a new job in the care sector.
In November, the council won a national award for the improvements it has made to increase the provision of care for the most vulnerable adults in the borough. This includes investment in new specialist facilities that will add extra capacity for more than 150 residents. The council is expanding its care workforce and giving all the training and skills they need, and with four other councils Barnet has secured £2m in funding to achieve this.
Natasha Gwynette, who has over 10 years’ experience of working in the care industry with adults and children said: “Working in care is one of the most rewarding jobs there is. As a carer you are vital to the people in your care. Being able to make others smile and feel safe is a beautiful thing.
“Throughout my career I had many opportunities to upskill and gain qualifications all paid for by the companies I worked for. It is definitely a job which allows you to grow and develop quite quickly with the right mind set. The skills you gain are invaluable and lend themselves to other career paths.
“You learn so much about yourself along the way and discover new abilities and aspirations whilst making a difference. I recommend that anyone who has the ability to empathise with others should take this journey with all of its great and wonderful prospects.”
