How To Prepare For My Home Care Interview

Let's Find Out

How To Prepare For Your Interview

Once you’ve completed you’re initial chat with our Onboarding team you’ll be scheduled in for an interview if you’re suitable for the available role in home care.

Our interview process is really about finding the right person for our team. We want to make sure you have a person-centred approach and really want to help our clients. We’re not always looking for the person with the most home care experience. We’re looking for the right person. The one who matches our values. Who wants to learn. And the one who really cares.

Learn About The Great Care Company

Our approach to home care is very person centred. At the centre of everything we do and why we do it is our team. Both staff and clients. You can read about our values here. You’ll find a lot of great information throughout our website about what we do and why we do it. This will help you prepare for your interview.

Learn About The Services We Offer And What They Involve

Your career in home care with us will involve a variety of different support needs. You could start your day helping a client out of bed in the morning, to get washed and ready for the day ahead. Your next client could need support getting to the shops, picking up their medication or getting out to see their friend. Each day for you will be different. Have a look at Our Services page to learn more about the services you will provide. You can contact us at any time if there is anything you are unsure of, or if you have any questions.

Remember – we don’t expect you to already know everything. But we do expect you to be willing to learn the things you don’t already know, with our support.

Think About Why You’re Applying For The Position

Think about your qualities and why this will suit your career in home care. Are you good at communication and you think this will benefit clients because it will make them feel heard? Maybe you have excellent time management skills so our clients will always know you’re going to turn up on time. We’re looking for keen learners too.

Maybe there’s something you want to develop about yourself that you know isn’t your strongest area. Don’t be afraid, to be honest, we’ll support your personal development. Awareness of your weakness is the first step to improving it!

The Interview

Your interview will be with a senior member of the team. You’ll get to know someone you’ll be working closely with to make sure we provide the best service to clients. We’ll be looking to learn about you and what has led you to pursue a career in home care.

You’re applying for a community-based position. It’s smart casual. We want to know you’re respectful but at the same time, it’s important you feel relaxed to be yourself. After all, it’s the real you that we are investing in. Don’t panic, ask questions if you have any and show us that you really do care!
