This is Lorna's first job in care which she does part time whilst studying.
I am a Community Carer working part time for the St Austell team around my College where I am studying Health and Social Care.
I was a waitress and a pasty maker!
Everyone who works at Alexandras is really lovely is the first thing. The second is the variety of work and how every day is always a little bit different with new things to learn
Communication - we all work to keep each up to date on clients and their needs and it works really well ensuring we're always prepared.
I'm up early as I live a little way out. I mainly work on doubles {providing care with another carer} so I meet who I am working with around 7am and then we start our visits to clients together.
I work a variety of shifts around my college work from 1/2 days to split shifts finishing at lunch and starting again around 4pm on longer days. It definitely keeps me busy.
