Hales Home Care (Leeds)

I have worked in the care industry for 10 years.

I started off working as a care worker. I enjoyed working in this role, but I desired progression. I completed my NVQ 2 and 3 in adult health and social care.

Subsequently, I joined Hales and was promoted to Quality Assessment Officer, a position that I found truly fulfilling. I served in this role for 4 months. Later, I applied for the Care Coordinator position within Hales and was successful in my interview. I performed this role for several years, eventually becoming the Lead Care Coordinator.

Following this, an opportunity arose for the Deputy Manager role, and I applied for it. I was fortunate to be selected, and subsequently, the position of Registered Manager became available. I have been serving as the Registered Manager for Hales for 8 months now, and I genuinely enjoy my role. Currently, I am in the process of completing my NVQ 5.

Throughout my career, I have dedicated 6.5 years to Hales Home Care in Leeds, and I find great satisfaction in coming to work every day. In my leisure time, I enjoy going to the gym every morning before work, as well as spending quality time with my family. I have 5 children, 1 girl and 4 boys. Additionally, I am fond of watching soaps and indulging in captivating true stories.

I have been working in the care sector for 5 years. I initially started my career as a care worker, a role which I found fulfilling. However, I soon recognised an opportunity for advancement and decided to pursue the position of Quality Assurance Officer (QAO). I successfully went through the interview process and secured the role.

One aspect of my job that I particularly enjoy is meeting our service users for the first time and conducting assessments. In addition to these responsibilities, I also handle safeguarding, audits, CQC notifications, and various other tasks as part of my role. Every day at work is rewarding, and I have been with Hales for the past 5 years.

I have completed A-levels in Health and Social Care, achieving a B grade. I also studied Psychology. Outside of work, I have two children, a girl and a boy, whom I adore spending time with. My hobbies include swimming, spending quality time with my family, and going on holidays.

I have been working in care for 34 years. I began my journey as a care worker, a role that brought me great joy. For nearly 7 years, I have been working at Hales. Initially, I worked as a care worker for 6.5 years before deciding to apply for the Recruiter position. However, I soon realised that I missed the hands-on aspect of caring. Fortunately, an opportunity arose within Hales for a Quality Assessment Officer (QAO) role. I successfully interviewed for the position and I must say that I thoroughly enjoy my job, particularly interacting with our service users and conducting assessments. Furthermore, I have completed a Nursing Diploma to enhance my skills in the field.

During my leisure time, I enjoy going on holiday and spending quality time with my children.

I have worked in care for 7 years, both as a Care Corker and a Care Coordinator. I have thoroughly enjoyed all my roles within the care industry.

During my time in college, I pursued aviation studies as I had a passion for travelling and desired practical experience in this field. Concurrently, I worked part-time at my previous company, where I developed a deep affection for the job.

Throughout my career, I have established exceptional professional relationships, and I eagerly anticipate daily interactions with everyone I encounter.

I always strive to assist to the best of my ability, and I maintain an open-door policy, welcoming any requests for help or support.

I have worked in the care field for 3 years as a Mentor/Care Assistant.

During a 5-month placement at a nursing home, I had the opportunity to collaborate closely with a Clinical Nurse Specialist, which allowed me to expand my knowledge in the field of Nursing. I love to help people where I can. I like a challenge.

I love to travel and spend time with my family.
