Neil
Care and Wellbeing Consultant
A bit about Neil
I started off working as a scientist working in research in Virology in London and when I found that unfulfilling, I had a total career change and moved into social care in residential care for people with learning disabilities. I then qualified as a social worker and worked for KCC for 28 years in various different teams within social care for people living with disabilities and older people. I hoped that in these many positions in community and hospital teams that I was making a difference for people and supporting their families. When not working I may be found cycling with a local club, socialising with friends or going for local walks. I enjoy watching live music and listening to my CDs.
What's important to them?
My family are really important to me and seeing them regularly brings me joy. My friends and keeping in touch and enjoying an occasional meet up. I am often seeking meaning in what I do, and enjoying meeting new people and employing my sense of humour. Keeping mentally and physically active as much as possible.
The things that light Neil up at work
I enjoy meeting people and finding out about their lives and their interests. I like to feel that I can make some kind of difference and enhance their quality of life in some way. It's important to me to feel that I can provide support and use my knowledge and skills in a helpful way. Its great to read the feedback from the companions as to the fun and enjoyment that the person has experienced during their visit.
