In the first instalment, we introduce you to Community Care Supervisor Marina who explains a little more about her role. We recently spent some time with Marina to find out more:
Q: Why do you work in care?
I saw how Marie Curie nurses actually took care of my grandmother when she was very ill and near to her last days. I was only very young then and was wanting to help, but my grandmother wasn't allowing me to.
Then years later, as a mother myself and when my children went to school I wanted to leave the industry I was working in which was as a Publican and I then applied for a job with a care provider and fell instantly in love with the role!
Q: What was your first job in care?
When I joined Bluebird Care two years ago I was a Domiciliary Care Assistant and have now progressed within the career pathway to the position of Community Care Supervisor.
Q: What was your first day like?
It was just lovely getting out, meeting the customers and getting to know them!
Q: What tip would you give?
You can give the best of your ability to the job and the customers who need you the most!
