Yesterday
Before moving to the United Kingdom in 2008, I had been in banking. I thought this was always what I wanted to be, a banker, my briefcase, suit, feeling of importance... As I look back now at my career/life journey, I see it more clearly that everything has led me here. My early years have provided me with a sound business mind, my UK years have provided me with the knowledge required to work in this industry within the UK, and my personal life has provided me with a compassion one can only achieve through adversity and maturity.
Banking has provided a foundation for business sense. I began my career as a bank teller and after working my way up the corporate ladder, becoming the equivalent of an Associate Director in the UK, 3rd inline from the throne (potentially, so to speak). Before relocating to the UK I had overseen large budgets, staff in multi-locations, and had many philanthropic interests. Some of these were; Memorial Blood Centres, March of Dimes is dedicated to improving the health of babies by the prevention of birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Women Achieving New Directions, is a non-profit organisation empowering low-income single women to achieve greater personal social, and economic success for themselves. My greatest acknowledgment since becoming a WAND mentor was being recognised as the "2008 Mentor of the Year".
Today
Since Auntie Shirly's passing, I have been working in the care industry. In 2017 I began caring for my husband, Mark, then I began working in the office of a small local care company which lead me to begin caring for my husband's Auntie Shirley.
Whilst caring for Auntie Shirley I began courses with the London College of Professional Studies. On February 18th, 2022, my Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Health and Social Care, was registered. OTHM qualifications are approved and regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual). Their programmes enable learners to demonstrate skills by producing evidence from their work activities, to meet national occupational standards. I am acquiring skills to support my role and progress to further study. On May 10th, 2022, my last assignment was graded, and have now completed the OTHM Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management diploma. At some point in the future, I may work towards a Level 7 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management course.
In 2024 when I was diagnosed with cancer and had to make the decision to withdraw my CQC application and fold in the company.
Tomorrow
In 2025 once I received a all clear and felt well enough, I decided to work for myself. I changed the name to Annette @ Birch House care and now offer my services directly to people in need of in home care.
Let's make this journey together, I very much look forward to meeting you.
