We have challenging residents who find it difficult to go to the barbers or even willing barbers in the area. Dilly utilises his skills as a qualified barber to provide this support to those in our care. Ensuring they are well-groomed and mental well-being is maintained. He will even come in his own time to provide this support. Thank you Dilly!
Nearing the end of my pregnancy, I have had several health issues, however Amy has continued to support me both professionally and personally to ensure that I can continue within my role, adapting the service so that I can continue for as long as possible. Despite leaving soon, Amy continues to teach me new things, to ensure my learning is current.
Cate has been brilliant at supporting me throughout a recent sickness. The support I have received from her has took a great deal of stress off my shoulders while I’ve been sick and I’m so grateful. She’s kind, caring and supportive.
Nicola has been an excellent support to the service. She has a housekeeper role. Our chef is on leave this week and Nicola has stepped in to help the service by going into the kitchen and cover the meals.
