I became a carer later in life as I’ve always worked in sales/admin roles, this must be the most rewarding job I’ve had, looking after lovely clients, showing them care and support and I get so much out of it. We are very lucky to work at Hollins Hall with fabulous clients and such beautiful surroundings.
I am a professional carer with years of experience. I have developed so many skills and knowledge since I began my career at Hollins Hall. I am passionate about taking care of the vulnerable. If there is any reason that I chose to be a carer, it is because I am working in an environment where I am appreciated so much, which includes making a difference to other people’s lives.
Choosing to work in care was the best career move I ever made. Knowing that I make a real difference to people’s lives every day gives me great pride and satisfaction.
Working with a diverse group of people means that no two days are the same, but the sense of achievement is the same when I go home at night.
My career in care began in a nursing home, then I joined the Hollins Hall care team as a Domiciliary carer, and to assist my mum, Mariana, who is the care manager. My time at Hollins Hall has been a privilege.
After many years working in hospitality & retail I decided to give the care sector a go in 2018 & I’ve never looked back! Having worked in both Domiciliary care & in a Care home setting & now Hollins Hall retirement village. I can honestly say I’ve found my calling until I retire myself.
I became a carer late in life after working as a secretary for more than 30 years. One day at work, when I was feeling particularly lonely with only a computer for company, I picked up a newspaper and read an article entitled ‘A Day in the Life of a Carer’. I never knew such a job existed, but immediately knew it was for me. Afterall, I was already a ‘carer’.
