One Door Closes, Another Opens with Marita Prosko

My guest today is someone I’ve worked with for many years and has become a good friend.

Marita Prosko has had an interesting career in care. She started out as a carer and has moved onwards and upwards, as you’ll hear.

Marita moved to the UK in 2008 and initially did odd jobs before getting a job working in domiciliary care in Bristol assisting with recruitment of carers. But she soon learned that working in the field of care if you can’t find anyone to cover a shift, you end up going to do the work yourself, so she learned very quickly on the job.

Being the person she is, Marita has gained more and more knowledge and experience over the years working in recruitment, supplying support and care workers for a range of different clients and situations.

When working for a larger organisation, she had to coordinate the care, - one of the hardest jobs there are. For a start you need to be incredibly well organised and Marita was and still is excellent at this, even though she didn’t enjoy it as much as other parts of her role.

Always aiming to grow her own skills and challenge herself, Marita went on to become a registered manager, receiving her diploma in October 2022.

Marita’s own credibility working within care is very important to her, and I know from working with her, how good she is at being able to recruit the right people for the right position.
