As a HCA I support vulnerable adults, I have had the opportunity to empower people to have the best quality of life possible within their circumstances, working with them daily to understand their needs and how they communicate. My work has largely been in the Personality Disorder directorate where there is much overlap with misunderstood neurodivergent needs. I value the chance the hospital has given me to consistently showempathy and understanding towards those who need it the most in order to improve their wellbeing. I have found that I am patient, calm and very tolerant of different needs. As a resourceful person, I find it incredibly fulfilling to find new ways to offer better support.

The mentorship scheme was developed by BG Futures to support students at LincolnChrist Hospital School. The training for this scheme was fantastic, I was taught valuableskills to bring people out of their shells; shown how to use resources that could improvementee’s awareness of their skills and improve self-esteem; and given the confidence toCV3empower others to take control of their futures. When working with the students Iexperienced a range of needs, both in their individual characteristics and in supportneeds, as well as gaining insight into the broad family circumstances that influence astudents sense of control and drive. Overall the greatest lesson I learnt was thesignificance of modelling a skill, such as persistent research, then stepping back andbeing patient, allowing the mentee to develop independently, therefore gaining muchmore value in their successes.
