Care Ambassadors
A Care Ambassador is an experienced care worker who is willing
to inspire and encourage young people to consider a career in
care.
The Care Ambassador will be involved in a programme of working
with schools and colleges.
This will include providing presentations at careers sessions,
offering guidance and advice on the care industry and its many and
varied career opportunities, helping to facilitate taster sessions
and work experience programmes, and generally enriching the
curriculum through classroom projects.
The Care Ambassador will act as a role model to young people,
offering them the chance to find out as much as possible about
professions in care.
Care Ambassadors should have enthusiasm, commitment, confidence,
the ability to identify with young people, a passion for their
work, and the wish to inspire others to achieve their full
potential.
