Corina's journey with Avanta

Hello, my name is Corina and I have worked for Avanta Care since September 2014. 

I made the decision to work in the UK last year, after 10 years of work as a teacher. After many hours spent researching UK care providers on the internet, I decided to come with Avanta Care. I was impressed that they were considered to be the Number 1 recommended recruitment company on www.homecare.co.uk.

When I arrived here last September, Avanta Care accommodated me at there training base in Leeds. I had an intensive one week Common Induction Standards training course, in readiness for me to begin an assignment in the UK healthcare sector.

After an interview with one of Avanta Care’s clients, I was placed in the South East of England. Avanta Care assisted me with my travel and accommodation, along with all the information I needed in order to ensure my relocation went smoothly. The whole team at Avanta Care was very supportive and no matter what the question they were happy to help.

I worked as a care assistant between September 2014 and January 2015 and it was a great time for me. I made a lot of friends at my workplace and I enjoyed every day spent there.

In January this year Avanta Care had a vacancy for an overseas recruiter, based at their head office in Leeds. I sent an application form and was accepted for an interview. They liked me and they offered me this new opportunity. I felt so proud to be accepted for the role, and excited to begin this new challenge. 

In February this year I started to work at the head office as an overseas recruiter, and I am thoroughly enjoying it so far. I am very grateful that I had this chance with Avanta Care, my whole life has been changed for the better since I came here.

I want to share my experience with Avanta Care and hope my story could be a source of inspiration. I can honestly say there is no better company to help achieve this dream than Avanta Care. All you have to do it is to send an application form and they will do the rest!
    
All the best,

Corina
