Work Matters: A day in the life ... Rebecca Davies, community development worker

Name: Rebecca Davies
Age: 27
Role: Community development worker
Qualifications: NNEB, Early Years Foundation Degree

This role is varied and involves working entirely in an outreach capacity. Currently, my activities span running a programme for local childminders, an under-21s group for teenage parents, pre-school and toddler groups and visits to health clinics, family fun sessions and nearly new sales, and organising paediatric first aid classes for parents. The most rewarding aspect of the job is seeing individual parents, children and families benefiting from the support that we provide and building up a strong relationship with them.

9am: First job of the day is to check in to my office at the children's centre, pick up the registers and equipment for any groups, and pack up the car.
