Testimonial from a member of our Team
"I have been with the Organisation now for just over seven months.
Prior to joining, I was a chef for over 21 years.
It was a big decision in my life to change careers after such a long time in the same trade and with no
experience outside of hospitality.
But, after a couple of years of ups and downs and uncertainty, I decided now was as good a time as any.
I wanted a complete change - primarily to find a career that made me feel I was making a difference
and rewarding in its outcomes.
So, I looked at a career in the care sector and this organisation jumped out as it was an opportunity for
me to train and learn a new and rewarding career path.
It is very much a decision I do not regret.
I am so glad I bit the bullet and joined a good company with great co-workers and a brilliant bunch of people we support.
Best decision I’ve made in a long time."
- Rob Bryant, Care and Support Worker
