A wide variety of people work for us as care assistants: here are some of them.
Audrey
"I have only just joined the agency and already I have gained much experience. I am slowly trying to settle myself down into a regular routine with two clients that I really enjoy spending time with. One thing I have managed to gain is lots of practice in, since becoming a care assistant, is my speciality - massage! I love to treat my clients to feet, hand or leg massages."
Mary and Allan
"Before joining Christies, Mary was a nursing sister and Allan worked for the Cancer Association. Since they joined in 2002, they have both gained vast experience in all aspects of care work. When possible, they both prefer to work in the same area so they can spend as much of their free time together as possible."
Alan
"Before joining Christies, I was an assistant manager of a holiday resort. I had also previously worked with the elderly and handicapped people as I
managed a care home in South Africa. "
Debbie
"I had been a care assistant with another agency, before I joined Christies Care in 2001. Since joining, I have gained further experience in personal hygiene,
continence management, paralysis, stroke, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy."
