#wearetheMCF – Jodie

“I grew up in York and it’s a lovely area to live. I went straight to college after school and did a qualification in hairdressing, which is very different from what I’m doing now!

I went into caring because hairdressing wasn’t very stable but I wanted to continue working with people. My cousin works here as a carer and she knew that a lot of my clients were elderly, so suggested I tried to get a job at the RMBI home. I love helping people so it was a perfect fit for me! I’ve been here since March, and I’ve already been given more responsibility as an Admin Assistant, which is great. I get to build strong relationships with residents and their families – there are people who ring quite a lot, so you get to know each other and I’m on first name terms with most of them.

It’s a lot more personable than other admin roles which mean that I can get very attached to residents, so when someone who you’re fond of passes away it can be quite hard. The home is such a lovely place, it’s like a family and everyone is really warm and kind. We work together as a team to make sure the residents have a good day, every day. Recently, we had lots of different animals come in, and they loved it. There were ladies who are 99 years old, holding tarantulas and all sorts!”
