Call from the frontline: We need more carers

An urgent call has gone out from Powys County Council for residents to "step up" and support our heroic care staff who are looking after our older people and vulnerable residents during these unprecedented times.

The regional authority said new recruits would receive full training to work alongside care providers, in care homes and in partnership with Powys Teaching Health Board. There are a wide variety of working patterns available with some covering evenings and weekends.

Cllr. Myfanwy Alexander is Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care with Powys County Council and she explained: “If you are looking for a way to contribute to the fight against COVID-19, then these opportunities in the care sector could be for you. You will be able to take pride in doing your utmost in this difficult time and laying down the foundations of a great career at the same time.

“If you haven’t thought about the care sector before, now is the time. Step up and make the world of difference,” added Cllr. Alexander.
