I began working in the care sector at the age of 17 and provided support for a wheelchair-bound client for four years. During that time she became a treasured friend and I truly enjoyed spending the day with her, not only providing personal care but also escorting her to appointments, and running errands, alongside domestic duties to keep her home clean and tidy. I then moved on to work for a company providing domiciliary care and would drive around to provide support for the elderly and disabled. I was in this position for around a year before progressing to be a Healthcare assistant at my local hospital. I truly loved working in this environment and met a lot of wonderful people despite the majority of the work experience being during the COVID outbreak. It was a scary time but I was so thankful to have such a caring and supportive team around me. I left this position to pursue an interest in the mental health sector and worked as a support worker with the coastal youth team for a while before moving back to Healthcare assistant work for a live-in care company. I worked for them until August 2023 and only left due to moving up to Scotland.
