Balancing a fulfilling career with the demands of parenthood can be a challenging task, especially in the field of in-home support. 

At Just Better Care, we understand that for many of our Support Workers, their role as a parent is just as important as their professional responsibilities. That’s why we’re committed to offering flexible work options that cater to the unique needs of busy parents, enabling them to thrive both at work and at home.

Flexibility that fits your life

Whether you need to adjust shifts or require specific days off, our team is here to support you. We know what it’s like to be a parent, and having the ability to pre-plan your work around school drop-offs, pick-ups, and other family commitments can make all the difference. 

Our flexible approach allows you to prioritise your family without sacrificing your career. This flexibility isn’t just a buzzword at Just Better Care - it’s a fundamental part of how we operate. 

Sarah, one of our dedicated new Support Workers and a mother of three, shared how Just Better Care has been a game-changer for her. “Being able to work around my children’s schedules means I don’t have to choose between being there for my family and doing a job I love,” Sarah says. “Just Better Care has made it possible for me to have the best of both worlds.”

Supportive work culture 

At Just Better Care, we believe that a supportive work environment is crucial for helping our team achieve balance in their lives. This extends beyond just offering flexible hours, it’s about creating a culture where employees feel valued and understood. We’re proud of our open communication policies that encourage Support Workers to voice their needs and preferences around the hours that suit them. Whether you need to adjust shifts or require specific days off, our team is here to support you. John, another valued Just Better Care Support Worker and a single dad, echoes this feelings. “I never thought I could find a job that understood my situation as a single parent until I joined Just Better Care,” he explains. “They’ve been incredibly accommodating, and it’s allowed me to continue working while being the dad my kids need.”

The benefits of flexibility on family life

Research shows that flexibility at work doesn’t just benefit employees, it also has a positive impact on family life. According to recent studies, parents who have access to flexible work arrangements report higher levels of family satisfaction and lower stress levels. This is particularly important in roles like in-home support, where there are emotional and physical demands. At Just Better Care, we see these benefits reflected in the lives of our team every day. Our flexibility-first approach help reduce the stress that often comes with balancing work and family life, allowing our Support Workers to be more present and engaged both at work and at home. For many parents, this balance is the key to a more rounded, happier, healthier life.
