I have worked at Coniston House for over 9 years, starting as a night carer.

I decided after a while that I would like to apply for the day carer role that had become available.

However, not long afterwards I started working in the kitchen as a cook.

I soon realised that I was missing the interaction with the residents by being in the kitchen, so I decided to return to care.

I know now that working within the social care industry is where I want to be, so I am currently undergoing training for more of a senior role. I would love to take on more responsibility and training in the skills required for medication administration.

I feel that I am a very caring individual and I am passionate about my job, caring and interacting with the residents is the favourite part of my job. I find the whole aspect of social care extremely rewarding.

I am currently completing my NVQ Level 3 in social care.
