I work with Christies for a year and I can say it was one of the best years of my life.
It started with a 2 weeks training, tough and challenging but also very entertaining and fun. Christies taught us how to work independently as well as in a team then, when I had my first client I was fully prepared to take good care of them.
Every time I had a question, an uncertainty or worry of a sort, the support team was just a phone call away to help.
The booking team got me a lot of jobs, the IT team made everything easy to access, the housekeeping team made sure all carers feel at home when coming back for trainigs or in standby and the training team is absolutely fabulous.
Hardest part of the job is when you realise there is nothing more you can do to make your client's life easier and the most enjoyable part is to meet so many wonderful people and listen to their life stories.

I work mainly in the field and in a home-based office. I do initial assessments of clients and then reviews when they're on board. I also see carers in the field or through video or phone calls. It's important to me to support both clients and carers and communicate  both positives and any issues back to Head Office so we can work as a team to maintain a good situation or improve things if there are problems. I love meeting and getting to know people and I'm proud of the work we do to support our clients. I am often impressed by the commitment of both the carers in place and my fellow office staff. There's a positive and supportive atmosphere throughout the company and I feel steps are made on a constant basis to improve how we do things.

Working for Christies Care is brilliant, you are well supported and listened to. The application process was straightforward and when interviewed, the interviewer made me feel so relaxed and  not nervous. The training team were brilliant and made training enjoyable while learning, the training is fantastic and very thorough. The Care team are great and always there to chat with and respond quickly to concerns. I worked for Christies 3 year ago and left to pursue my career but wanted to return to Christies and was welcomed back by everyone and I feel like I never been away and returning was the best decision I made . I would recommend Christies to anyone.

A trypical day at work involves preparing meals and drinks, helping around the house and being there for my client. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing how my work helps my client to live a more fulfilled life. The hardest part of the job is that, as a live in Carer, I have to spend a long time away from my family. The management at Christies regularly call me to catch up on how my assignments are going, this gives me a great amount of reassurance. The work has taught me patience, communication skills, to not take things personally and that there is always a creative way to solve a problem.

I’ve been with Christie’s for 6 months now! I have been offered multiple clients and have work lined up into next year. When Christie’s say that you can call them whenever you need help or just someone to talk to they aren’t lying. 

The team are helpful, considerate, constructive and understanding. You don’t feel pressure to accept jobs and know that you are always taken care of. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
This  company does not discriminate. Good at training how to give the best care to the clients. Respect their carers. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Travelling to go for training to Saxmundham. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very safe environment as they do the assessment first before sending the carer to the place and they are not discriminatory. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just to be with my client and doing what I am supposed to do for them as an individual.

As a new carer I was very impressed with the quality of the 2 week training course. It was extremely thorough though of course nothing can completely prepare you for the realities of the work and the variety of different clients you may work for.  I found my support team to be excellent. Kind, understanding and genuinely supportive during tough times. I have left due to personal circumstances but would recommend Christies to anyone wanting to do live in care work.

Fantastic company to work with. Always so friendly, helpful and considerate of others. Their value to ‘do as you would be done by’ is very important to them and they really do live by this. Christies are efficient, innovative and dedicated. Whether you're a client, a carer, an employee or freelancer - you are all treated with love and respect. They not only strive for the best but they also recognize their staff and carers for their hard efforts and work well done, which really does go a long way.

I have worked at Christies for 5 years and seen many changes as the management adapt to the ever changing demands of social care whilst still striving to be the best in the business.  Teams are well led, carers looked after and you feel included even when working remotely.
