What our HCAs and support workers say about working at TCS

Absolutely fantastic company to work for. They really appreciate their workers, offer great rates of pay and really good training. I highly recommend!

– Healthcare assistant (HCA)

I can’t fault TCS. I only have good things to say about the support worker role I applied for within the company:

  • Quick responses from staff
  • Great teams
  • Flexibility
  • Shift patterns are great
– Support worker

More often than not, my working days are very varied. It keeps my role very exciting. My colleagues and I will take the client out for breakfast in the morning, and then we will usually spend a few hours, if not the full day, trying a fun activity. We always take him out for fun activities such as swimming, water parks, and walks on the beach. It’s great to witness this kind of happiness and see him grow as a person. No day is the same or boring, and that’s something I really love about my role.

– Amy, TCS support worker

An important part of my role at TCS is ensuring our client has a voice. This means finding creative and bespoke ways to share their thoughts and feelings. We use many tools to support this, including written language dictionaries, social stories, and creating a video for the client around communication. It is incredible how much the client’s communication has improved during my time caring for him, and I cannot wait to find new ways to help him communicate more and share his thoughts with us.

– Katie, Support Worker

By listening to our clients, we can communicate more effectively to ensure he has the best quality of life. Over the past year, our clients has visited the cinema every month. We have taught him the months of the year and that he can go to exciting and fun places. We manage any obstacle together to ensure it is an enjoyable experience. We now have a movie board in his home for all the films that come out for the year.

– Oliver, Support Worker
