Hi,
I am a father to 3 children, aged 21, 17 & 16. I was employed in the print industry for 28 + years. Following redundancy, i spent 4/5 years trying to get back into the industry, taking various roles in other industries. Since June 2012 i have been employed as care assistant/support worker, starting in community care, assisting the elderly in their own homes, then in Sept 2012 i joined an agency, who cover care homes for the elderly, also day centres & care homes for physical & learning difficulties.
One of the day centres was for young adults with Autism, which i would be assigned to work at quite often, up until Nov 2012. Since then i have been assigned to work at a residential home for adults aged between 40 & late 60's, with various physical & learning difficulties.
In Nov 2012 my application was accepted to work for the NAS. My induction training is currently ongoing, but once completed i will be Bank Support Staff, primarily for the Outreach Dept.
