AAAAAAAAA! I finally have a job! After 9 long months of interviews, applications and stress I finally have a job! *happycry*

It's a Casual Residential Support Worker role. So firstly I will get to choose my hours, from 0-37 per week and secondly its LOCAL, which is a huge deal as I have been having to apply for jobs across the country. This is great because it means I can continue to volunteer with all of the wonderful charities that I have been with over the last 9 months! I will primarily be working with special needs children, either in their homes, at school or in residential homes. This is another bonus as I had a little gap in experience working with younger groups. I have done lots of work with the elderly and adults, but not too much with youths. So, with all that in mind, I am going to continue to get great work experience from volunteering and extra experience from a paid role working with children before applying for my ClinPsyD in a year or so's time! It couldn't be more perfect right now really

Above all though, I will get to really make a difference in some peoples lives who really need it. I am going to do my very best and give everything 110%.

Wish me luck, I should be starting after my training in May
