Working with Carr Gomm
Hear from Dion, one of our Support Practitioners in Inverness:
A typical day for me would be starting at 9.30-10.00. Then I would maybe pick up a supported person and we would go for a coffee or to the shops or stay at home and maybe do things they cannot do for themselves like make lunch, have a cup of tea. We would maybe watch some tv, listen to the radio and chat. Every supported person is different and that’s what’s great about support work every day is never the same.
I enjoy working in social care as it’s a very rewarding job. You are making a difference to someone’s life by helping them do things they cannot generally do, and they really appreciate any help you give them.
You are making such a difference to people’s lives even just by a tiny thing that you might do for them. The people I have worked with are so appreciative. Some days it doesn’t feel like work because I get on so well with everybody I have supported and taking someone just for a coffee is like a normal thing you would do with a friend, but it really means a lot to the person you support.”
Our Impact
