I think they're great answers to all questions but I wouldn't necessarily agree with the answer to number 5...while it certainly sounds like very good advice sharing a career plan can at times be a "walking kiss of death"...what I mean by that is, and I've come across it myself so many times is that you're going for a care assistant job, say hold a degree and when you mention progression you can see it in the interviewers eyes "this person isn't going to be happy with this entry-level job and is going to go as soon as something better comes"...it's a cold hard fact...what I generally say is "I like to take one day at a time and really develop my skills for the role I'm in, that way I feel I'm really giving back to the organisation"...and I leave it at that...and yes, I am employed in the care sector!
Agreed. My ambitions as a 22 year old man fall far from the realms of working in a local care home now I'm back from university. I mean seriously. My answer to this question would be related to skills and traits I want to develop.
As a trainee nurse and first aider, I’d have to disagree with number 2, you would check your casualty first and foremost BEFORE calling for help, if CPR is required it’s vital it begins ASAP :) great video though
Really baffled by some of these videos I keep seeing on RUclips. Firstly the issue of working shift patterns. Most interviews will be for a specific shift pattern or set number of hours per week which is what you'll be expected to do as minimum. Don't start offering and saying you're available to work any / all other shifts and at short notice if you know full well you can't or won't be able to deliver. That said don't sit there with a list of dates and times you don't want to or can't work but in the same breath don't bluff and bullshit your way through an interview and promise more than you can realistically manage. The following questions about first aid, safeguarding and disclosing confidential information is the same answer. What you would do is seek immediate help, advice and instruction from the designated person in charge. You'd follow any training given and specific policy and procedure the home has and never attempt to wing anything instead seeking advice from a senior in charge. It's that simple. Where will you be in 5 years? There's no right or wrong answer to that but the one given here I would not advise at all it'll make you sound a right wanker and possibly mean you've just talked yourself out of the job. A simple and perfectly good response would be “Honestly I don't know. In an ideal world I will have been able to train, gain more experience and qualifications but I'd hope to be still working in care and be good at the job and enjoying it” If you're going for a job interview as a care assistant and have very little or no experience, don't try to blag your way through with answers that are rehearsed. It immediately makes you seem like the worst type of care assistant i.e. someone that can't just be honest, open and who is likely to be more of a liability by thinking or assuming they should do this or that rather than asking the person in charge and making sure. Just relax, be yourself, be honest about what you know and don't know and please don't agree to hours and shifts you're not able to work.
@@Jaay2022 the most important thing they want to hear from you is that you like helping people and that is your passion, they ask why etc but just be completely honest and be yourself. Make it known that you wanna to support the residents in everyday tasks and are willing to work as a team for their benefit
I want to know that if a female candidate agrees for night shift then do the employer facilitate some transport to leave her safely at home.... question is applicable for UK organizations only.
AEDs (automated external defibrillators) are made so any member of the public can use :) they have very clear instructions and are designed to be used by anyone
I never knew where I'd be in 5 years time. Never - never had a plan, just went with the flow. You just have to give them what they want to hear. Interview questions like this are lazy and don't reveal anything about the interviewee. Also, working in the care sector can be very frustrating and unrewarding especially when you feel undervalued and are underpaid and overworked. No, not for me anymore, had enough of it!
Being a Caregiver is a tough job and all you said is true. I hire caregivers , and I can definitely say that my best caregivers knew what the job entails. Agencies are overly stressed and the business all around is extremely stressful. I’ve learned that no job is easy and at times you got to se things from a different perspective. Agencies out there lack rewarding their caregivers and that’s also not fair. Thank you for all you did and hope you find a much more rewarding job.🙏🏽

I thought defibrillators were used by trained people.i wouldnt want to say I'd use one if not trained wouldnt want to be accused of making mistakes.

Impressive and learnt some great points
