Gerald’s story

Gerald has worked as a Registered Nurse with BaptistCare for almost three years, but with over 16 years of experience, he is a wonderful asset to the team, recently moving into the position of Residential Care Team Manager! 

Gerald says his recent success is due in large part to the wonderful career development opportunities on offer at BaptistCare.

“BaptistCare is very good for Registered Nurses’ career development,” he says. “I was enrolled in an Infection Control course after just one year and soon became an Infection Control Lead in the care home.”
