At Bromley Road Hospital, I helped to support and care for the adults with mental health issues. My main duty was to check on a selection of clients every 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the severity of their condition and assess and record the results. I am part of the hospitality team at my church also working as one of the coordinators in the children’s department.
