The 28-year-old, who is a care assistant at the council’s Shearwater Care Home, said: ‘I went into shop work when I left school but I wish I’d gone into the care sector straight away. Everything I do for the residents changes their lives and makes life better for them.

‘It’s challenging at times and hard work but it’s so rewarding. I love it.’

Cllr Luke Stubbs, the council’s cabinet member for adult social care, said: ‘This event will hopefully dispel some of the myths about working in the care sector.

‘These days it’s a career with a real future.’

The event is being held at Cascades Shopping Centre between 10am and 2pm.
