Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I support people to live their best lives, this can be by helping people to have personal care, cooking and cleaning. This can also be helping them to take their medication safely and manage their finances, so that they can do activities which they enjoy.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

We sometimes have events when other care homes come to our service so that both services socialise together. We have also have a number of coffee mornings where family members have come and had a drink and to see the service.
