Francisca Aderonke Olagunju has published a new book called The Immigrant Carer’s Handbook. It is a cultural insight into the practices of African health and social care workers.
The handbook is a guide primarily for African migrants and people from other ethnic minorities working in health and social care in the UK, the US, Canada and across Europe. It offers practical insights into the dos and don’ts of the care industry and how cultural practices and beliefs can impact the carer and the client.
It draws from a wealth of combined experience gained over decades of working in the sector, coupled with extensive research across the sector from carers, service users, families and agencies, to ensure that the immigrant carer gets a head-start which allows them to provide the best practice to their clients, but above all ensure they stay out of trouble.
The book aims to act as a bridge between a largely Western clientele and their immigrant caregivers. Still, more importantly, it highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity as a crucial aspect of recruiters as the care industry continues to rely heavily on the migrant workforce from the global South.
