FULL DESCRIPTION

Care Assistant

Rhiannon was a beauty therapist before she decided to become a carer with [Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk]. She has a maturity that belies her age (19) and has something which can’t be taught, namely the ability to act perceptively.

An example is when she was in the home of an elderly lady who lives by herself. The lady had no family network around her, and Rhiannon noticed she appeared very lonely.

Rhiannon’s mum is part of The Salvation Army, so she mentioned the lady and arrangements were made to take her out once a week to a lunch club for the over-60s. The lady has blossomed since and now looks forward to her weekly outings.

“She hadn’t been out for a very long time so understandably was very lonely” Rhiannon explains, continuing: “this wasn’t helping her health and well-being. At the club she is mixing with people of a similar age and making new friends.”

Rhiannon says she is enjoying being a carer. “I like interacting and helping people and you get a lot of satisfaction from knowing what you are doing is contributing to someone being able to remain in their own home.”
