From Carer to Admin & Rota Planner: Sarah’s Start in a Care Job
Sarah joined Acacia Homecare in 2021 after taking time off to care for her father who had Parkinson’s disease. This experience gave her a unique perspective on caregiving and inspired her to begin her career in a care assistant job. She started as an entry-level carer and has since grown into an administrative role, thanks to the support and training offered by Acacia Homecare.
If you’re looking for a flexible and fulfilling care job, Sarah’s story highlights what’s possible when you start your career with Acacia Homecare.

The Reward of Building Connections in Care Jobs

From her first day, Sarah felt supported in her career goals. The training provided and support by Acacia Homecare enabled her to achieve her NVQ Level 3 qualification while working. Now, she’s working toward her NVQ Level 5, thanks to the company’s commitment to professional development.
“I wanted to further my career in care, and knowing I could do that with Acacia was amazing,” Sarah says.

A New Role: Admin and Rota Planner
Sarah’s journey took a new turn when she transitioned from a carer into an Admin and Rota Planner role. Initially, she hesitated, worried about losing the joy of working directly with customers. But she quickly realised that scheduling carers was about much more than filling shifts, it was about ensuring every customer received the right care at the right time from the right person.
Now, Sarah has a broader impact on the lives of both customers and carers. Her work ensures seamless, tailored care that enhances customer independence while supporting carers in their roles.
