 My name is Terry and I'm an admissions and discharge officer for a resource centre which is quite a unique establishment in West Sussex. We're a short stay establishment for vulnerable elderly. My job involves taking referrals from social workers either in a hospital setting or from the community teams in Sussex. So from that I arranged to meet the person that's been referred and carry out an assessment with them to determine whether or not we can meet their care needs at our establishment. I really enjoy meeting the individuals that have been referred, speaking to their families, building up a picture of how we can help them work through their time with us and then reviewing that on a weekly basis with our partners, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, the local medical centre that they're registered with to facilitate their return home with a package of care or into a residential or nursing setting. There's lots of flexibility in the care role for everybody as an individual, it's just finding out what you need to do and taking that forward to the appropriate manager. A lot of people think that as you get older it's not something that you can go into and hope to go up the ladder but it's not like that. I'd say if you're fortunate to be afforded that opportunity to work in the care sector then to go for it because the opportunities are endless and the training is there to take up and you can just go wherever you want to within the care sector.
