At the age of 16 years old, I trained with Age UK for many years and worked in other residential homes until Church View opened its doors on my own doorstep. I have worked as a carer all my life. Since the Church View senior, to senior and eventually team leader. Upon reflection, I have been part of the Church View family for around 20 years, and this has become like a second home to me.

In the past month, I have just completed my safe handling medications level 4 with Distinction, and in the past, during my career journey, my NVQ 1,2 and 3, alongside dementia training, Golden Gateway and end of life training. I have developed a passion for the end-of-life sector, which I utilise in everyday work life.

I am a mother of three children and a nanna to eleven; my family is my world, and they are what keep me grounded.

I have only been working in the care sector for a short time, coming from a marketing and business management background and graduating from university with both a BA(Hons) and MSc degrees. When I first came to Church View for my interview, I knew in that moment that care was what I wanted to do, as I grew up as a young carer, and it made me miss the caring aspect and the practical side.

When stepping into this home and working as a care assistant, it felt like an extension of my family, enabling me to develop lasting relationships with the residents and the staff. It really has become a home away from home.

When looking back at when I was working in management and marketing, it made me reflect on progressing further within the home. The obvious next step for me was stepping into a senior role and advancing that way. Whilst in the senior role, I began working towards my NVQ Level 3, and this carried over once the team leader role became available, since advancing I have obtained a Distinction in my NVQ and learnt a wealth of knowledge in the role.

In my spare time, when I can, I try to go back to Manchester to spend time with my family, alongside being at home with by husband or reading in my own little home library.
