  • What do you do?

    I am working at Gavin Astor House which is part of the RBLI. The home provides nursing care for people of a wide age range.

    I am involved in a number of different things everyday including helping people to eat their meals and with personal care.

  • What did you do before this?

    I had been in education full time and had been looking for work since finishing my BTEC course.


  • Why did you become an apprentice?

    I liked the idea of gaining experience which doing a qualification.


  • What is the most important thing that you have learnt so far?

    I have learnt that everybody is an individual and that you need to get to know them as individuals.

    I have also learnt a lot about myself and the skills and qualities that I have.
