About Carer

Most of my working life has been spent as a nurse, though the past few years have been within a charity alongside adults with learning or mental health challenges. Now I have the opportunity to continue caring in my local community, maintaining and building new relationships.

I’m very adaptable to the needs of my clients and enjoy the flexibility working alongside Sparrow provides.

I am a warm, quietly outgoing person, down to earth and positive, who is interested in others and invested in their wellbeing.

References & Client Feedback

1. I am writing to support my recommendation for Susie. I have worked & been friends with her for 2 years & I can attest to her good character. She is a responsible, kind, hardworking & knowledgeable person, who approaches any task she undertakes with enthusiasm & determination. She is a hugely compassionate person & gives freely of her time to those in need, she is adaptable & personable & is one of the most sincere, caring people I have ever met. Susie is a fast learner, a diligent worker & a credit to our charity. I have no doubt she will be as valuable member of any workplace she becomes part of & have no hesitation in recommending her.

2. Susie has been employed by us since 15 August 2022 on a part time basis with minimal sickness absence and no disciplinary issues. Her job is that of a Supervisor in our catering dept working both in our café and separate catering kitchen. In this role she has day to day responsibility for our beneficiaries who are either neuro divergent or have mental health needs or both.
