Bluebird Care Stamford & Rutland backs Professional Care Workers' Week, which will run from the 12th until the 16th of September 2022.

Bluebird Care is one of the largest providers of homecare services in the UK. It operates a franchise model with 200 offices delivering more than 20,000 visits per day to customers across the UK.

This week, they will be focusing upon the importance of and support given to those who make the work that they do possible - their dedicated team of Care Professionals.

The week focuses on the work happening in the social care sector and explores issues and challenges faced by the sector. It aims to increase the public understanding of what it means to work in social care. During these difficult times, care workers have been on the front line, helping to take care of the vulnerable and elderly members of our community.

3 in 4 carers feel their caring role is not understood or even valued by their community. At Bluebird Care Stamford & Rutland we hope to raise awareness of the mental health care support available to carers across the local community.

Tim Carey, Director of Bluebird Care Stamford & Rutland, said: "In the UK, there are an estimated 2 million social care workers, all of which have played a vital role in society. Support, recognition and appreciation needs to be given. At Bluebird Care we are proud to support Professional Care Workers' Week which highlights the challenges carers and the much-needed respect and acknowledgment they deserve for their outstanding efforts.

"We hope that by supporting this campaign it will raise awareness of how exceptional care workers are and the issues they face. Does a care worker help you or a loved one? Why not show your gratitude by sending us a little appreciation note and we'll post it on our social media."
