Rachael Gillies

Hi, my name is Rachael. I started working in Care towards the end of 2023, after studying my level 3 extended Health and Social Care at East Durham College. 

I am passionate about supporting and encouraging others in any way that I possibly can. 
 

A skill that I like about myself is being person centred and putting everyone else’s needs before my own. I believe that is what we need in this world going forward to make it a nicer place. 

Since gaining my level 3 extended Health and Social Care qualification at College, I began working at a local Care Home.

I have now been here for just over a year. 
 

Working in a Care Home has taught me to be strong and resilient as it can come with a lot of emotional situations. 

My most recent education was East Durham College. In my first year I studied Level 3 Health and Social Care, and then went on to do my Level 3 Extended in my second year.
