how can i get a caregiver job in the US or UK?and What are the requirements needed?

Answer 1

In the United States there is a network of organizations called Area Agencies on Aging. There is an Area Agency on Aging serving every community in the United States and in U.S. territories. These folks know about different organizations that need workers in the field of caregiving or companions. Since qualifications vary by state and territory, they would also know about the requirements for the kind of work you are wanting to do. They also may be able to connect you to an individual or family caregiver who needs immediate help.

After you decide which places in the US or territories you are most interested in working, you can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find the contact information for the specific Area Agency on Aging that might help you get the information you need. Call the Area Agency on Aging and ask to speak with the staff person who handles the "Family Caregiver" or "In-Home Care" program. Tell this person that you seek employment as a caregiver and ask them questions about possible work in the area and qualifications. You might also ask them for organizations in the area that might be looking for home companions or paid caregivers.

While education requirements and experience will vary by what state you are in and what type of job you wish to do, credible organizations and potential employers will require a background check.

Hope this information helps. Good luck!
