Your home. Their workplace – podcast

Cecily Lalloo Embrace HR

HR Specialist supporting Deputies, Case Managers and families whose clients employ care staff following catastrophic injuries and often needing 24/7 complex care. Author of “Employing Care Staff in Your Home.”

July 12, 2024.

It’s been a number of years since I decided I wanted to start a podcast to share words on employing caregivers who work in someone’s home. As an HR provider, I have been supporting families, through deputies and case managers, to ensure that families comply with employment obligations if staff work in their homes.

If you think about it, these parents, these families, have so much to manage when they have a loved one who may need 24/7 care. They often take on paid help even though managing people working in their homes may be the last thing they imagined they’d do.

What a privilege it was for me to talk to Rachel Wriight, author and director of the company Born at the Right Time and also podcast host of The Skies We’re Under. Rachel is all about bridging the gap between parent carers and those professionals who support them, as well as providing advice, help and a listening ear to other parents who have children with disabilities. Earlier this year I wrote about an episode that I had listened to in her podcast. She kindly acknowledged my LinkedIn newsletter and I asked if she would be a guest when I eventually began a podcast.

This morning it happened. I was very excited, and nervous, to interview Rachel. She has hosted so many wonderful, knowledgeable, heartfelt and fun episodes in her podcast and is a professional podcaster. We talked about some of the ups and downs of employing care staff in her home, definitely not easy, but essential. Listen to the interview in our August or September episode.

I’m delighted to announce that my podcast YOUR HOME. THEIR WORKPLACE. will be launched on 28 July 2024. This date is the birthday of two of my late sisters. They were both caring and loving people and what better way to honour them – I know they would be proud.

In the meantime, may I invite you to listen to the trailer, give me feedback, subscribe, or send a link to someone you think will benefit.
