00:00:01,258 --> 00:00:05,985
My name is Jake Albrighton.
I work in Tregerddan Home as a Care Assistant.
2
00:00:08,052 --> 00:00:11,997
I never really considered working the care sector in school at all.
3
00:00:12,303 --> 00:00:13,277
It's really, really good.
4
00:00:13,937 --> 00:00:15,483
I'll start that again if you want!
5
00:00:19,303 --> 00:00:21,597
I like the area, I've lived here all my life.
6
00:00:21,617 --> 00:00:25,270
I started working in shop.
7
00:00:25,290 --> 00:00:27,123
I found it a little boring.
8
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:29,763
I saw a job to do with caring.
9
00:00:30,183 --> 00:00:35,163
I liked the fact that I could look after people and help them.
10
00:00:35,343 --> 00:00:39,750
I think it's a good thing that I'm young, because there's a generation gap.
11
00:00:40,697 --> 00:00:45,003
They open up to me just as much as the others
and maybe I can be a bit more cheeky.
12
00:00:45,850 --> 00:00:49,597
Do you remember any upsetting experiences?
13
00:00:49,663 --> 00:00:52,803
Probably the first time someone died, and I knew them quite well.
14
00:00:52,817 --> 00:00:55,757
Because you know the family and everyone that's come to visit them too.
15
00:00:55,897 --> 00:00:58,363
Amanda's coming in to sing today.
16
00:00:58,377 --> 00:01:00,997
I can't sing, but I mime so they think I'm singing.
17
00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:01,917
It's quite good though.
18
00:01:01,997 --> 00:01:03,203
Oh, sorry!
19
00:01:03,823 --> 00:01:05,323
We were doing so well there, Jake!
20
00:01:08,617 --> 00:01:11,763
It's important to me that I can give back to the community,
21
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:15,123
because some of the people have lived here all their lives.
22
00:01:15,503 --> 00:01:18,283
You start to create that bond with them.
23
00:01:18,623 --> 00:01:20,037
Everyone has lots of stories.
24
00:01:20,170 --> 00:01:22,303
Some of the things they come out with…
25
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:26,003
It's definitely built my confidence.
26
00:01:26,137 --> 00:01:28,803
I didn't really know how to communicate with people
27
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:30,917
and I started to see that I could actually do it!
28
00:01:31,263 --> 00:01:32,243
I really enjoy it.
29
00:01:32,410 --> 00:01:33,783
You'll never be bored!
30
00:01:34,277 --> 00:01:36,530
