“I love working as part of a team to support Hambledon residents to enjoy their many different hobbies and interests. As well as keeping on track with all care requirements for supporting vulnerable adults with complex health needs, there is a less serious but equally important side to my role! I love that I get to dance, sing, or hold a pamper night with the wonderful people I support. They are just the most amazing people.”
