I have a interview tomorrow for a care home, I am wanting to get into nursing but my grades aren’t the best I really hope this helps me get into nursing. This has made me feel more confident knowing this helped you into nursing, I’m feeling nervous for my interview tomorrow fingers crossed 🤞🏽 thank you for this video! ♥️
I'm a care assistant too and it is true that the 6c's are everything in this role. I've become emotional watching your video. I share the same passion for my job, I'm in a care home now but I was doing home care before. So rewarding. I love my elderly people. If I ever become a nurse I'd love to continue working with them.
I love this video because I’m applying for the next Health Care Assistant course in my local area. It’s a Pre-Nursing course. I’m looking forward to it. All of a sudden at 38 I’ve decided to do this. I have a degree in Business Tourism which I’ve never used and since college I’ve worked on several places, neither related to my degree. I thought I was set in a career for life when I got a job in media but I used to spend 6 hours a day in the car getting to and from work so I had to give that up after 11 years. I took some time out to have a family and I’m working again in a shop but I’m really hoping to get in the next course that becomes available.
Morning! Aw that’s amazing :) well done for going for it! I had so many students in my year who were mature students too ☺️ and I was 36 when I qualified so it’s definitely possible 🥰 That’s a shame about your media role :( 6 hours! Blimey! I thought almost 2 hrs travelling was bad haha. Bless you. I really hope you get this course! Fingers crossed for you and a massive good luck!! ☺️🤩 xx
Thank you for all the advice! I’m starting my Health Care Aide program in January and I hope to work for a year or two and upgrade to a Licensed Practical Nurse! So nice for you to show appreciation to all levels of the nursing staff.
I have just been offered my dream job as a HCA at the hospital. I cant wait to start my career in nursing. I was looking for training videos on KZclip for when i start and this has really helped me ☺️ thank you!! Xx
Been working as hca since 2008. I wanted to do nursing since I started working in hospital in 2010. Now I’m a student nurse. My dreams came true! I’m so happy I know what I want to do in my life. Can’t wait to finish and start my journey as a nurse ❤️
Came back to say thanks Clarie. 6 months ago I started searching and getting to know about care job. This video of u was so inspiring for me, and I got sure, yes I want this job. 🥰 I'm a care assistant now and I do love it …
I have recently just started my role as a care assistant after 15 years in retail. This is my 3rd week and so far I have only been shadowing due to COVID so I haven’t been able to attend any training so your videos have helped me especially when I have felt doubt and worry! Thankyou so much xxx
Morning! Aw bless you. There’s loads of stuff being put on e-learning for healthcare now! Maybe have a look on there :) I know a lot of our mandatory training was moved over there. Also the QNI website is a great resource : www.qni.org.uk
Great video! Ive done HCA role for about 6 years now, community care, home care and now I'm going into the NHS to hopefully further my skills and hopefully I can do a fast track nursing degree. I loved that you included the 6'c of care, its sad that a lot of people heading into care do not share these core competencies which are vital when heading into care, especially when you mentioned about phoning in sick and being late affects the home, 100% valid and is one of my pet peeves in care. If you don't care then its not the job for you is what I say. Great video x
This is a great video, thank you for sharing this. I am an appreciate in care and I want to go into nursing when I finish my course, it's a never ending learning experience and it's great xx
Loved this vlog Claire. Every word you say is so true. That was the hardest thing I had to do was last offices. As a team leader I had to call family, Drs and undertaker and it was hard. The first time was horrible because of the nurse that was on that day. He was so horrible, it was my first time and when I got out the room I had tears in my eyes and he told me to stop been so emotional.. I wasn’t even full crying just experienced my first deaf for goodness sake!
So glad you made this video Claire. I’ve got an interview in a care home next week so this video is perfect for me to watch right now. Hoping to gain experience with adults so I can 100% decide which area of nursing I want to go into in a few years time.
I used to work in Uk for 5 years as a care assistant and now I’ve started my nursing degree in Romania. I’m planning to move back to UK once I graduate. Do you have any advices or tips on how to apply for NHS?
Dear Clair what a lovely honest and professional speech. I was a carer in the UK also CSW2 now living and working in Italy in a care home . Working to do my OSS training in Italy. Like you I have felt in love with my job, and I am working on my dream job to be a qualified nurse. Thank you very much indeed for your clip. All the very best in the future.
Hi Claire, I’ve been in hospitality all my life and currently a GM In a large hotel. I am leaving the industry for good in 3 weeks to start as a community care assistant. Great video really helpful. Thank you
This video is so so helpful, I have an interview for a care assistant in 45 minutes. I have watched so many videos on KZclip but this video has been the most helpful!
I am going to start my new work as a care assistant very soon ,i don’t have previous experience but watching your video it really gave me courage and of course gained lots of knowledge.Thankyou so much ! I will do my best ...
Thank you for this educational video ... I will start this new adventure next week and I am very happy to have been lucky enough to have found this video, It would be very good if we apply these 6C's in everything we do in this way the world would be more wonderful .
Hi love! I have a random q.... I'm currently studying Psychology at the University of Liverpool. Hoping to eventually become a clincal psyc. I wondered if you know of any psycs in your workplace who took a job such as a healthcare assistant after graduation? We must do atleast one year in a clinical based profession. Whilst and AP (assistant psyc) would be the best one, it's HIGHLY competitive. Support worker/healthcare assistant/wellbeing practioner seem to be the next 'alternatives' to gain relevant clinical experiance.
@Claire Carmichael I will look into it, thank you! We have to do one year before we can apply for the PhD. So I'm just trying to figure out which one would give me the best experience with patients. I like how much one to one and care with patients a HCA seems to have. Thank you for your reply!
You are such a beautiful passionate being! Thanks for this inspiring and teaching video... I will start this amazing new adventure next month and I am so happy, you really have me the idea 🙏🏻☀️🌈💐🥰
@Claire Carmichael thanks Claire! Wow it’s the first time I get a reply from a KZclip Hero! 🙏🏻 😊🌈 I would love to keep in touch with you once I start 🌷
Thanks for the amazing and informative video. Could you tell me, is there an opportunity to develop in the HCA role please? Or I must have a certain degree and years spent at a University to apply for Band 3 job? Another question would be about shift. Do you think is that possible to start work from 8:30 or 9am plus eight hours on five days a week as a Health Care Assistant in a Hospital? Your answer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Hi Marta, no you don’t need any extra qualifications like university to become a band 3 :) they can train you on the job for this. You might be asked to do an NVQ level 3 health and social care or equivalent to this though. But they would fund this and train you if you had that job. I’m not sure about hours, it’s down to the managers - sorry x
Hi! I moved in the UK 7 months ago from Italy because I want to pursue a career in the NHS. I don't have any experience in the healthcare but I really want to be one of them, I've been applying for a lot of vacancy... seriously like 30 vacancies?... i've got also an interview but I failed the interview as a bank hca and got another one as a nursery assistant but didn't go well too... so i'm a bit discouraged right now as I don't know how can I start this career I've been dreaming for almost 10 years, I'm 24 now, I know I'm young but I'm a bit lost also with what path I have to take. do you have any tips?
I would call / email the places you had interviews with and ask for feedback on your interview. They can give you some good advice on where to improve ☺️ but keep going and keep trying! You will get there x
@Claire Carmichael thank you! I got the job! They hired me on the spot and they told me they never done that before! Your vid helped so much thank you! I hope I learn a lot here like you did to prepare for nursing. 😁 have a nice day!
Were you at any point as a HCA or student treated badly by a fellow colleague or senior colleague, if yes, how did you handle it and how did it make you feel
Hi! As a student, there was one person who used to speak to me badly. So I killed them with kindness and carried on 🤷🏻♀️ I did also report it but not much got done about it and I wasn’t confident enough at the time to do more about it. I also witnessed a HCA abuse a patient once! They never did it again! I reported it, and other people came forward too and they were sacked ❤️ xx
I have been a carer for a year and now i just applied for a team leader and nvq 2 for health and social care. I just want to ask what should i be expecting for my nvq?
I think it’s probably all changed now to be honest. I did mine back in 2008! Haha! But we had a portfolio we had to fill out with different bits like care, quality, equality, diverts, respect, dignity, personal care and hygiene etc. We just had to write in each section the evidence that we have done it and give examples of what we’ve done with our patients. Then someone signs it off for you :)
There’s many different courses now for health and social care :) Some people do this online with different companies. Just make sure the company you pick online is an accredited company and an official qualification 💙

@AMANDEEP SINGH I just started with no prior experience, but will be gaining a “Care Certificate” qualification as part of my induction / on the job training, classroom and e-learning provided by my employer.
Yes. First week on my own, and thats exactly what I had to do when an elderly gentleman went in his pads on his way to the toilet... I thought Id be repulsed by this part of the job, but you get on and deal with it, and help the patient/customer.
@R A as a nurse you have more knowledge on the human body and how to treat conditions, how to prevent deterioration etc. I can also do more clinical skills out there
I have a interview tomorrow for a care home, I am wanting to get into nursing but my grades aren’t the best I really hope this helps me get into nursing. This has made me feel more confident knowing this helped you into nursing, I’m feeling nervous for my interview tomorrow fingers crossed 🤞🏽 thank you for this video! ♥️

@JASS DEEP BEER you don’t need a course to be a care assistant. Maybe call the home you applied to and ask for feedback? ☺️ see what they say x
Which course do we need to do for this job. I have applied but not selected
Morning! Aw bless you. There’s loads of stuff being put on e-learning for healthcare now! Maybe have a look on there :) I know a lot of our mandatory training was moved over there. Also the QNI website is a great resource : www.qni.org.uk

My health care assistant interview 10 th October 2022
Whoop!!! Good luck!
Can man work as a care assiatant
@AMANDEEP SINGH I just started with no prior experience, but will be gaining a “Care Certificate” qualification as part of my induction / on the job training, classroom and e-learning provided by my employer.
@Claire Carmichael what are the qualification for this job required?
Of course ☺️ I have friends who are men and working as a care assistant :)
Do you have to clean poops?
Yes. First week on my own, and thats exactly what I had to do when an elderly gentleman went in his pads on his way to the toilet... I thought Id be repulsed by this part of the job, but you get on and deal with it, and help the patient/customer.
@R A as a nurse you have more knowledge on the human body and how to treat conditions, how to prevent deterioration etc. I can also do more clinical skills out there
@Claire Carmichael Thank you! But you are nurse now. What is the difference between nurse and carer?
Absolutely! I would never leave a patient sitting in their own faeces, when they can’t help themselves. X
Thank you
