Kathryn Faulke

4.28/5 (87 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

A memoir by a care worker told through her funny, heartbreaking, sometimes frustrating and always eye-opening encounters with the often overlooked and marginalised people she cares for

Kate Faulke never expected to become a home care worker, but when she left her senior role in the NHS, burnt-out and disheartened, she thought caring for people in their own homes would be a simpler job. With energy, compassion and clarity her memoir provides astonishing insight into this unsung, often poorly regarded profession, and into the hidden lives of the housebound and infirm. Despite being determined not to become too emotionally involved with her clients, Faulke soon found herself developing friendships, forging deep connections and bearing witness to the extraordinary drama to be found in ordinary lives. Every Kind of People is a celebration of humanity and of the life-changing impact of caring, on those administering it and on those receiving it.
