Empowering family carers and care workers with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to provide safe, effective care — reducing risk for everyone involved.
Caring for someone at home is one of the most demanding and rewarding roles a person can take on. Without proper training, it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting — and potentially unsafe for both the carer and the person being cared for.
Our OT-led Carer Training programmes provide practical, person-specific training in the home environment — covering everything from safe moving and handling to managing complex personal care with confidence and dignity.
Training is tailored to the specific individual being cared for, their condition, and their home — making it immediately practical and directly applicable.
Correct techniques for transfers, repositioning, and assisting with mobility — using appropriate equipment.
Providing dignified, safe assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene.
Understanding dementia, communication strategies, and managing challenging behaviours with compassion.
Understanding the person's fatigue and how to support activity planning without triggering post-exertional malaise.
What to do if the person falls — safe floor rescue techniques and when to call for help.
Training on prescribed equipment including hoists, stand aids, wheelchairs and walking frames.
Proper technique and equipment use reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injury for carers.
Carers feel more confident and less anxious about providing personal care.
The person being cared for receives safer, more dignified, and more effective support.
Enabling people to remain at home longer by making the care arrangement sustainable.
Book carer training today and give both the carer and the person they support the confidence they deserve.
