With over four years of experience in the care sector, Ella has built up a career based on compassion, dedication, and a desire to grow. Starting in-home care, she quickly progressed into residential care, where her passion for learning and helping others truly flourished.

## **Starting in care**

Ella’s journey began with six months in home care before moving on to Chocolate Works Care Village, where she worked as a healthcare assistant for two years. It was during this time she decided to take her first formal step in training. *“I started my Level 2 qualification and found this gave me more confidence whilst at work,”* she said. Her hard work didn’t go unnoticed - she was nominated for a company award and won the ‘Dignity Champion Award’ while studying.

 

## **Moving up the ladder**

After gaining confidence and recognition from her Level 2 training, Ella progressed to a Senior Care Assistant role and began her Level 3 qualification with Realise. *“This has given me a lot of knowledge that I previously didn’t have, so it allows me to work confidently in my role,” *she explained. Around the same time, she was again recognised by her company, this time receiving the ‘Front Line Leader’ award.

 

## **Why she chose to learn with Realise**

When asked what prompted her to enrol on another course, she shared, *“I am always ambitious to progress within the care sector and thought this would be a great step for myself.”* She had just completed her Level 2 qualification and was ready for the next challenge. Realise provided the right support and training environment to help her grow even further.

 

## **Supportive, thorough training**

The training she received through Realise was not only detailed and well-structured but also gave her the tools she needed to thrive in her role. *“I received thorough training from Realise that was both knowledgeable and interesting,”* she said.* “I found it made me more confident within my role as a Senior Care Assistant as I had more knowledge of important legislation.”*

## **A love for learning**

While she couldn’t choose a single favourite part of the course, she said, *“I enjoyed every part for a different reason.” The entire learning experience left a positive impact.*

For her, the benefits of completing the course go beyond just qualifying. *“The course makes me feel confident within my role. It’s given me extra information and knowledge I was unaware of previously. And it looks great on my CV!”*

 

## **Words of encouragement**

When asked what advice she would give to others thinking about taking a course with Realise, she didn’t hesitate: *“Go for it! There’s nothing better than having a qualification behind you that is fully funded. It’s a win-win situation. Of course, you must put time and effort into your course but at the end of the day it benefits you.”*

 

## **A special thank you**

She also made sure to acknowledge her tutor who played a key role in her success: *“Sarah has been very supportive of me throughout my course journey. She has ensured I had the support I needed to pass my course and put in extra hours to ensure I was confident.”*

 

## **Final thoughts**

Reflecting on her journey, she said,* “Realise has given me the tools to be a better carer and I can’t thank them enough.”*
