I’m a Care Project Officer with the Notts Alliance Training Hub. The focus of my work is around social care – care homes and domiciliary care. We work with care homes and home care providers to put university students, ie student nurses, paramedics, occupational therapists and physiotherapists into placements within the homes. This gives the students an invaluable insight into the issues in social care and gives them skills to take into their job once they qualify. I also help social care providers to secure funding for apprenticeships, these can range from L2 carers right up to Masters Degrees.
Alongside this I deliver training into care homes around preparation from Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDT). MDTs are groups of healthcare providers and carers that come together to discuss concerns they have about people they care for and agree on the best care for them.
Over the past year I’ve also worked as a non-clinical vaccinator delivering Covid vaccinations to people in Nottinghamshire from vaccination centres, the roving bus and going into care homes.

My Typical Day:
My day generally starts around 7am as I generally work from home. I spend a lot of time on MS Teams or Zoom meetings with colleagues and social care providers. I try to make sure I get out at lunchtime to take my dog for a walk – working at home means I spend far too much time sitting down! I generally finish my day around 4pm.

How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Fun, organised, caring

A chef. I still love to cook but I’m glad I’m doing what I do now.
Were you ever in trouble at school?
I was a little mischievous at times!
What's the best thing you've done in your career?
