We play a vital role in campaigning and advocating for the rights and welfare of workers in the care sector, serving as a collective voice for caregivers, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and reasonable working hours. We negotiate with employers to establish standards that prioritize both employee well-being and quality care for residents.
Additionally, we provide support and representation for workers facing issues such as discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment. By promoting solidarity and collective bargaining, we empower care home workers to have a stronger say in decisions that affect their professional lives, ultimately contributing to better outcomes for both employees and the individuals under their care.
We have members in all areas of social care such as residential homes, home carers, charities, and foster carers. Alongside our campaigns, we offer all social carers Contingent Indemnity Insurance. When you are dealing with vulnerable clients it is vital that you are in a trade union to protect yourself from any claims made against you. Join us today !
