Employee Stories
Ricky
“My mum has always worked in care so it was always something I felt I wanted to give a go,” he says. “I wish I had done it sooner. I love it, it’s better than I expected”.
Ricky, had thoughts about working in care for a long time. Ricky built a career in construction for 20 years before deciding it was time for a change.
Vicky
“I actually enjoyed getting up each morning and going to work, and it was the first job that did that for me.”
Vicky, saw her first steps in care as “just a job, it paid the bills”. But Vicky says she soon found there was much more to the job, and she enjoyed building a rapport with clients, learning to treat them like family, and taking courses to discover more about the different approaches to care. Vicky’s is now one of our service managers.
