Craig

I’ve always been passionate about care, which is why I applied to be a Care Assistant at Four Seasons Health Care Group. Our entire team contributes to delivering a high standard of care, professionally and passionately.

The best thing is that I have good job satisfaction, the hours are flexible to fit in with my life and I enjoy meeting new people including residents, team members and relatives.

My career is extremely rewarding as I’m making a difference to the lives of our residents. It’s fantastic seeing the results of my hard work and I finish each day feeling satisfied as I know I have done my best to help.

It’s fantastic that we have highly skilled nurses who are always happy to share their knowledge and experiences with me. We also have a lovely atmosphere in the home.

The best thing is my work-life balance and the benefits offered to me. Job security and progression is also very important to me and it’s great that Four Seasons Health Care Group can provide this.

I have received lots of learning and developments opportunities throughout the 10 years that I have been here. I gained a NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care and received regular training in relation to my role. This includes Dementia training, Health and Safety, Infection Control and Basic Life Support training. I have also completed all of my e-learning courses.

I began tenpin bowling in 2000 and I now bowl in league tournaments with my friends and family. I have represented Northumberland and achieved a bowler’s pinnacle dream of achieving a perfect 300 game! I love riding roller coasters and visiting theme parks. I have ridden some of the best roller coasters across the UK, Europe and USA.

Rewarding!

I have five reasons why you should work in the care sector:

• Flexibility
• Qualifications
• Variety
• Rewarding
• The perks – it’s pretty much a win-win!
