Stacey Bushnell
Company Mentor – NVQ liaison
Stacey says ‘ I have worked for Hanslope Care from opening, which was in 2017. I genuinely love being with all the clients. I feel privileged to be able to support our clients during their time of need. I enjoy building relationships. It’s very special when someone who was initially reluctant finally accepts and welcomes you into their home and into their confidence. I know I’m in the right job, this is the only thing I have ever enjoyed doing. I know I am in the right place. Hanslope Care is my extended family’
‘Under Hanslope Care I have completed my levels NVQ2, 3 and 4 in adult health and social care, and I am near completion of my NVQ5.’
‘I like that I work fixed days of the week and I’m not expected to work on my days off. This is a good life work balance’
Stacey then explains about her leadership journey.
‘I did have a period working as acting deputy manager, but after six months I felt that I needed more experience in leadership and a chance to gain more confidence, I will go back to dealing with leadership at some point and mentoring is a good stepping stone’
‘Janine has been really understanding about enabling me to side step and we are working together to build my confidence and complete a manager skills course. Janine is a very supportive and loyal boss. She really does care about her staff and is very sensitive to staff needs’
‘I recommend working for Hanslope Care. It’s a tough job, but very rewarding’
