I am blowing my own trumpet because I am proud at what I have been doing for the last 6 months.
6 months ago I started working at my local carers office as a volunteer receptionist, something I have never done before. I have always worked in retail or catering of some kind.
Today I had an appraisal of how I have been doing. Wow I was amazed at what was said.
I was told I am calm and collected when answering the phone, speaking to other carers with respect and understanding. I am liked by all the other staff there, and they are all satisfied with any work I do for them. This may be just photo copying document or sending information out for those who have asked for it. Passing messages on and filling out referral forms for the carer support workers. They all like the way I do things, and that I am not afraid to ask if I am not sure of something.
I love it there as it is so far away from the stresses of home, even though it is still connected to being a supporter.
It is so good to feel appreciated for just a few hours work a week.
