I started in the care industry as a personal assist for a young gentleman who was a quadriplegic after sadly having a major motor bike accident.  This gentleman I believe, showed me the importance and value of life itself and how things can change in a heartbeat. I worked for 3 years with this gentleman and then progressed into the community care world. I enjoyed going around meeting lots of different people who all had interesting adventures/stories to tell of their lives.I worked in the community from 2006-2012, I was then offered a post as a senior care worker within Chestnut Grange Independent Living Scheme and accepted. I worked my way up to a Team Leader and became the Line Manager in 2016.  I was TUPE over to another company in 2019 and TUPE to Nexxus on 2023 and have been promoted to the Branch Manager. I am hoping to become the registered manager within the next year at Chestnut Grange.
