    Putting the Care in Careers #15
    Jun 26 2025

    Caregiving is so much more than a job to pass the time; it’s a career that can last a lifetime…

    While Charlotte Snowshall is early in her journey with us in Short Breaks, she has a transformative story that will inspire the passionate, curious minds thinking of care as a career!

    Join us on Reasons to Care this week, as we hear what turned a temporary role into years of life-changing work, and just how far her career could take her.

    This episode covers:

    • Charlotte's journey from short breaks crew member to management, showing that care work offers genuine career opportunities

    • The transformative impact of initiatives like Little Squirrels

    • The personal passion and energy that underpins caregivers’ careers

    • Misconceptions around care work as a temporary job with no progression

    • How care goes above and beyond basic support, creating meaningful experiences for those with additional needs
