Summary
Although my background mainly relates to Office work , photography for the past 20+ years, I feel i need a new challenge now more team related with a job satisfaction at the end of the day knowing i have given something back to the community .I also do voluntary photography for Dr Kershaws & Manchester childrens hospital ,
I have loved my estate agency work with meeting new people on day to day basis and helping them, some of which was very challenging with some sad lonely people selling their home due to miving into care homes, I always took my time with them to listen to their stories . So for a long time i have wanted work in the care enviroment but felt maybe i was too old to be accepted for a career change now at the age of 52, I have no problem doing any courses (in my own time) I really feel I belong in a role like you describe for your Support Worker and i know i could help people and give this job my heart .
