“The process has gone really well - really well! Considering I was apprehensive at first. There is a great shortage of health care assistants and I think all decision makers in care need to take more initiative in looking at the apprenticeship route. Our apprentice Leanna has made great progress. She has grown in confidence, and it’s a pleasure having her here and an absolute joy to see her blossom. The end product is that you have a competent, confident, approachable, young care assistant. It certainly is something you should consider.”
