This week is #YouCanCare week.  #YouCanCare highlights how rewarding it is to work in the care sector, and that anyone with a warm heart can enter the profession.

We wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate some of the wonderful CCL members who have moved into the Care Sector.

Pictured is Bev with Matthew. Bev is the Registered Manager of our High Ridges scheme. Bev started at CCL as a Support Worker 8 years ago and has progressed significantly. Before Bev entered the Care Sector and started her career at CCL, she was a hairdresser. She decided she wanted to change career path into a role where she could really make a difference and help others. Suffice to say, she began working at CCL and hasn’t looked back since!

When speaking to Bev about her role at CCL, you can hear in her voice how much she adores what she does, and when we asked what she loves about it she replied:

 “Everything! I love helping the guys, making them smile and giving back! They give so much back to me by just making me smile too! I just love everything about it!”.

The amazing part that stands out to us is making a difference to the lives of others; you can all make a difference too!

This ties in with the ‘Everyday is Different’ campaign, aimed to support adult social care recruitment. Here are some more examples of people working in the Care sector from other organisations: https://www.everydayisdifferent.com/Personal-experiences.aspx
