Although she briefly tried her hand at labouring and working as a chef, Donna Eastaugh found her true calling when she took up care work, and has now clocked up 25 years in the industry – with over a decade at the Norfolk home-care provider.  A life-long carer has taken up a new role at the Norfolk home-care company she first joined as a school leaver.
Dana Frost had a brief break from working at family-run Extra Hands before returning three years ago. Earlier this year she moved to the Rapid Response Team at the company’s Heacham Branch, working alongside colleagues Nina Stephen and Tamara Proctor to provide support for service-users and carers alike.  A carer with more than 30 years’ experience in the industry has put retirement on hold to continue in the job she loves.
Sue Barnard, who works at family run Norfolk care provider Extra Hands, was previously employed by Age Concern, and has also worked at a variety of residential care homes over the past three decades. |
