Milton Combe, Yelverton
Tell us about you! My hobbies and interests revolve around my garage, building and riding motorcycles primarily but also metal work. I enjoy welding and fabrication and spend time making garden and household items, from gates to beds and anything else that takes my interest. Currently I am building a 1979 MZ motorcycle, modified to my taste.
I'm a practical person and turn my hand to most things, I have done bits of building work, woodwork, plumbing and electrical work, always willing to learn a new skill.
I recently had the opportunity to travel for a few months, teaching English, working on a farm, living in small communities and absorbing new cultures. I have many interests, the main challenge seems to be finding time for them all!
About 4 years ago I accidentally applied for a carer's job, (pressing the wrong button on my pc,) and decided to investigate it. I ended up loving working with people with learning difficulties and some physical challenges, we enjoyed each other's company and it didn't feel like work.
I had worked in a residential setting and also in the community, supporting people to live as independently as possible; this was my full time role.
I left to go travelling for a few months and on return decided I would like to continue in care but not full time, I like the idea of using some of my other skills and so being self employed gives me that opportunity; some care work, some gardening work, some odd job work and the possibility of anything else.
Whilst working for my previous employer I attended all the training courses provided, many of which I had previously attended for other employers as a tutor for challenging young people.
I like the idea of using more of my skills and working with you can help me achieve that.
