    Winning with Social care

    Caroline and Craig discuss how Craig's redundancy made it necessary for him to look for another job in the early part of 2021; at the start of the COVID pandemic. It is fair to say Craig was not sure this was going to be a role for him, especially not because he was going to be supporting people with personal care. Together they discuss this and what a role in the adult social care sector actually looks like - as opposed to assumptions made and misperceptions. Craig summarises his journey to date and how he has risen from Domiciliary care worker to a Healthcare Support Assistant role in the space of 4.5 years. He also talks about the awards he has been nominated for and won over this time.  One stand out comment is that no 2 days are the same working in social care.  Contact Caroline on caroline@cliftonhcl.co.uk for a friendly chat.
