HRM Homecare, one of Scotland\u2019s leading care at home specialists, has joined forces with youth charity the Prince\u2019s Trust in Scotland to set up a brand new project aimed at encouraging more young people to consider a long-term career in care.<\/p>\n
Five young adults aged between 16 and 30 \u2013 Nickelle Murray, from Bellshill, Erin Lang, from Motherwell, Lauren McCombe, from Moodiesburn, Kayleigh Mackinlay, from Glasgow, and Nicola Scott, from Troon \u2013 were selected by the Prince\u2019s Trust to spend four weeks training with the Kilmarnock-headquartered company at a variety of its locations.<\/p>\n
They were given free, comprehensive training on the skillset and qualities needed to be a carer, as well as the huge variety of other roles \u2013 from human resources to quality control \u00ad\u2013 which exist in a company such as HRM Homecare.<\/p>\n
At the Prince\u2019s Trust\u2019s Wolfson Centre in Glasgow, leaders from both HRM Homecare and the Prince\u2019s Trust Scotland gathered with Nickelle, Erin, Lauren, Kayleigh and Nicola to celebrate their graduation.<\/p>\n
Lynn Laughland, Managing Director of HRM Homecare, praised Nickelle, Erin, Lauren, Kayleigh and Nicola for their hard work and dedication during the four weeks of training. HRM Homecare has now offered the five of them the opportunity to take up a full-time position with the company.<\/p>\n
HRM Homecare now hopes to run the project four times a year \u00ad\u2013 helping more young people realise the fantastic career options that exist in the care at home sector, as well as providing a massive boost to HRM Homecare itself, which has more than 100 job vacancies it wants to fill after winning new contracts to provide care at home in both Falkirk and Lanarkshire.<\/p>\n
Lynn Laughland said: \u201cOver the four weeks, Nickelle, Erin, Lauren, Kayleigh and Nicola have learned very quickly what it takes to be a first-class carer, and we are absolutely delighted to offer them the opportunity to join our HRM Homecare family.<\/p>\n
\u201cHRM is determined to make a positive contribution in finding the next generation of highly-talented young people and we are delighted to have found an ally in the Prince\u2019s Trust, which does excellent work with young Scots. The care at home sector is not only a huge provider of employment, it is a massive economic driver in Scotland today as our society continues to age. It also offers a wide range of valued and rewarding professions with various routes of progression open to those who are looking for a rewarding, long-term career.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough our joint project, we aim to show exactly how care workers can make a difference to those who need and greatly value support in their everyday lives. Not only that, they will be offered the opportunity to join a team at HRM Homecare that is dedicated to providing quality care services to those within our communities who are in need of extra care at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kate Still, Country Director for The Prince\u2019s Trust Scotland, said: \u201cWe are delighted to have teamed up with HRM Homecare to provide this massive opportunity for Nickelle, Erin, Lauren, Kayleigh and Nicola.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have run such projects before with other care organisation and our Glasgow centre supports thousands of young people aged 13 to 30 across the Clyde Valley region and South West Scotland to live, learn and earn. But this project allows our east and west teams to work together to give even more young Scots an opportunity to forge a long-term career in the care at home sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether with HRM Homecare we can create a whole new generation of care sector workers as well as going a long way to solving the shortage of talent in the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n
