Career Training & Development

I started employment with Southend Care Ltd as a Community Carer in July 2022, and have now progressed within my career to a Field Care Supervisor.

In my role as a Field Care Supervisor, I support with the Southend Discharge Service, Reablement and the our private homecare service, Meadows Home Care. I also support the City Council with our Provider of Last Resort Service. I ensure our community carers are supported by making myself available to them so they never feel alone or unsupported in their role.

Through the support of management and the team, I have been able to progress in my career at Southend Care and am now being supported to undertake my NVQ Level 4.

Southend Care prides itself on helping others, including those living in the community but also its staff, helping them to progress and feel confident in their role.

We have a saying 'one service, one team' and I can honestly say we do work to this. If someone is unsure of something the response will be 'if you are unsure, then lets complete it together until you are ready to complete this independently'.

I am looking forward to completing my NVQ Level 4, and I know that I will have the support from my tutor but also from my manager and colleagues.
