00:00:00,686 --> 00:00:04,306
My name is Sarah Davies, I'm the
Assistant Director for Pobl Group.
2
00:00:04,466 --> 00:00:08,540
I oversee supported living
environments and community services.
3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,948
I came into Pabl Group in 2009.
4
00:00:10,948 --> 00:00:15,478
Before I came into support, I was a Senior
Buyer for a chocolate manufacturer.
5
00:00:15,478 --> 00:00:18,796
I just wanted to do something
that gave a bit back.
6
00:00:18,796 --> 00:00:22,546
I started at the bottom really
and I worked my way up.
7
00:00:22,546 --> 00:00:26,594
The most rewarding part of my role now
is about going out to the services
8
00:00:26,594 --> 00:00:30,367
and seeing the impact that some of
the decisions I've made have had.
9
00:00:30,367 --> 00:00:33,527
And when I'm able to see the
standard of care being delivered
10
00:00:33,527 --> 00:00:37,405
and the help that we are given and
how happy they are with their support
11
00:00:37,405 --> 00:00:39,972
and that's the payoff to me.
12
00:00:39,981 --> 00:00:44,502
People think that care is all
about looking after elderly people
13
00:00:44,502 --> 00:00:49,024
or supporting somebody with learning
disabilities but actually there's an entire
14
00:00:49,024 --> 00:00:53,193
industry behind there from
Care Worker to Director,
15
00:00:53,193 --> 00:00:57,432
there's a chain of command there that gives
great career opportunities to people.
16
00:00:57,808 --> 00:01:01,484
I wasn't aware that there
was a career path in care,
17
00:01:01,484 --> 00:01:03,944
all I knew was I wanted to do
something that made a difference.
18
00:01:03,944 --> 00:01:07,005
What brought me to care was wanting
something that would give me
19
00:01:07,005 --> 00:01:10,079
more job satisfaction and that
would be more rewarding for me.
20
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:14,799
I didn't come into this role expecting
that this is where I would end up.
21
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:16,360
It's been a journey.
