Joe's Story

This is Joe's first job in care and he's found a vocation for life.


WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT ALEXANDRAS?

I am a Community Carer at the Penzance office though I am hoping to progress with more responsibility.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?

Going the extra mile for the clients and seeing the genuine relief and support they can feel. It's a very rewarding.

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT WORKING AT ALEXANDRAS?

Since starting with Alexandras they have been nothing but supportive. I've been given opportunities to learn and grow.

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE FOR?

I will either work a morning or afternoon shift. When I started all my shifts were with double handed clients so I could learn by shadowing my colleagues. I now do a variety of shifts on my own supporting people with their daily routines as well as double handed visits.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE ?

I always knew I had a lot of energy to give something, I just didn't know what. Coming into care work has opened my eyes and I can see that care is a vocation for me. I am really excited to pursue a career in this environment.
