1.
I
took
an
opportunity
to
follow
an
ambition
I
had
always
had
and
this
was
to
work
with
others
within
the
care
industry.
I
started
work
with
the
Agincare
group
as
a
domiciliary
care
worker;
this
has
given
me
core
experience
with
vulnerable
people
suffering
with
dementia
and
Asperger’s
syndrome
and
also
end
of
life.
I
have
a
natural
ability
and
compassion
to
care
for
others
and
I
have
realised
a
genuine
passion
for
working
in
the
care
sector.
I
have
now
taken
this
to
another
level
and
have
embarked
on
the
Adult
social
care
NVQ
level
2
course.
I
now
feel
the
need
to
work
in
an
environment
that
affords
me
more
time
to
actual
caring.
I
am
friendly,
outgoing
(had
previous
entertainments
career)
compassionate
person
and
am
able
to
build
relationships
and
empathise
with
people.
I
enjoy
problem
solving,
can
work
well
under
pressure,
and
have
the
ability
to
manage
my
time
effectively.
With
my
current
role
my
time
is
spent
mostly
lone
working
but
I
also
have
the
ability
to
work
on
my
own
initiative,
take
direction
when
required
and
work
alongside
other
team
members.
I
know
how
to
listen
when
needed
and
can
communicate
well
with
others
at
ease.
My
previous
involvement
with
business
has
given
me
strong
leadership
skills
and
I
am
now
looking
for
further
challenges
within
the
care
industry.
