What is your background prior to joining Radfield?

“I joined Radfield as a Care Professional in July 2025. Before joining Radfield Home Care, I worked as a sales assistant for a family-run bakery for just over four years.”

How has your background prepared you for your new role at Radfield?

“My background has given me a strong foundation in communication, organisation and customer care. Working for a family-run bakery for over four years taught me the importance of teamwork and building positive relationships with people, skills that I’ve carried into my role at Radfield. As a Care Professional, I developed patience and an understanding of what compassionate care truly means, which I now bring into my new position as Social Media Marketing Assistant to help showcase the heart of what we do.”

What has inspired you to want to be involved in the adult social care sector?

“I’ve always been surrounded by the care sector through a close family member who has worked in social care for over 22 years. Seeing the difference they’ve made in people’s lives really inspired me. When I joined Radfield, I quickly realised how rewarding it is to help others live independently and with dignity. That sense of purpose and community continues to inspire me every day.”

How do you feel your role, and your experience, will benefit Radfield’s clients?

“Having worked directly as a Care Professional, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact our team has on clients’ lives. In my new role, I aim to highlight these stories and showcase the compassionate, personal side of care through our social media and marketing efforts. My goal is to help clients, families and the community feel more connected to Radfield and confident in the care we provide.”
