I joined Timeout in May 2022 with no previous experience of residential care. I made exceptional progression and completed my Level 3 Diploma with flying colours with the amazing support from my team and manager. 

I wanted to progress further in both my career, and in providing outstanding care for children. To do this, I enrolled onto the Senior Development Programme where I learnt the skills and knowledge to perform Senior duties. I was successful and officially became a Senior Therapeutic Carer on in April 2023.

​

Within my Senior Therapeutic Carer role, I helped care for children with extremely challenging behaviours who had never experienced a homely environment, and as a team, we've been able to see the amazing outcomes and achievements the children have made over time in our care. It's rewarding to be part of their journey. In recognition of my hard work and commitment, I was awarded the Carer Innovator of the Year at the Timeout Awards 2024!

​

I am now enrolled to complete my Level 5 Management Qualification, to continue with my professional development at Timeout, and work towards a managerial role.
