#nationalcarersweek is about putting carers and their skills on the map

Our skills are developed from every part of our life, not just paid roles.

Ahead of National Carers Week, it is worthwhile mapping the key skills unpaid carers build up over time.

Careful Communication – keeping services providers family and friends informed of how they can help.  

Thoughtful Teamwork – collaborating with others to get the right results at the right time.

Practical Problem-solving – finding out what isn’t working well and deciding on the best solution.  

When the time is right we can draw on those skills when we apply for a new job role.

It makes sense to use the STAR model within job applications to show how these skills reflect the quality of our results, after we take action to accomplish an important task, against the backdrop of a challenging situation.

If you want to make STAR part of your next job application follow the links to some wide-ranging examples of the STAR model.
