2026 HOURLY CARE INDUCTION TRAINING

“I have been with Christies Care since January 2012, starting in Carer Support for 2 years before moving over to the Training department. The parts I most enjoy about my role here are getting to meet different people and developing my knowledge. This enables me to provide the best guidance to the carers that we train. I have experience being a carer. My first caring role was in a care home for people aged 50 and above, all of whom had learning disabilities. It was very daunting at first but with support and training I found it very rewarding. I then moved into domiciliary care as a pop-in carer which was as rewarding yet totally different. I enjoy spending my spare time with my family, walking our dog and horse riding.”

“Hi my name is Kerry. I've been a member of the Christies Care training team since December 2013. Previous to this, I was a carer for 8 years. I really do enjoy being part of such a great team - everyone is warm and friendly. As a member of the training team I get to meet our wonderful carers and, although we run the same training courses from week to week, each session is completely different. Outside of work I’m a mum (without a doubt one of the best things in the world) and I also have 4 dogs at home which keep me very busy.”

“I joined Christies care in 2024, after working as a nursery manager 10 years. I love being a part of such a warm and friendly team. As a member of the training team, I really enjoy getting to know all of our wonderful carers. I also have experience in residential care and previously worked as a life guard. Outside of work i can usually be found walking the dog or swimming. ”

“I joined Christies in December 2023 after working in Childrens Safeguarding for 11 years. It is a pleasure to be part of such a great team and provide the opportunity to train and support the wonderful Christies Carers. When I am not at work, I am kept very busy looking after my two girls, three dogs and two cats.”
