“My job allows me to support people when they are at their most vulnerable. In return I get to see humanity at its most generous, most trusting, its most fragile and often, at its best.
Working around the clock generates a range of emotions: from the frustration at senseless, alcohol-fuelled violence, the reminiscing of an elderly man who’s just lost his wife of 60 years, to the miraculous joy of a newborn- all in the space of one evening. It can leave you reeling but more often than not leaves you with a sense of belonging in the community”
