"My role involves the day to day running of the branch and I am responsible for the safe running of service we deliver to our customers. Being involved in their support is very rewarding.
"I started my career in care at the young age of 16 where I completed work experience in a day care centre for the elderly. I have always been a caring and kind person; being a carer is a rewarding job and knowing I am there to help vulnerable individuals with everyday life makes me feel good inside. Being involved with their support and care needs is a very important role and making that little difference to an individual's life is very rewarding."
