I joined New Directions in 2008 as a support worker, I had no previous experience in care. New Directions encouraged and supported me to learn and develop my knowledge and skills. Over the years I have learned so much and achieved NVQ Level 2, 3 and a Level 5 diploma in Health and Social Care. The skills I have learned, I have been able to use in all areas of my life.
I have been lucky enough to work in many settings within New Directions, learning how the different support settings and teams adapt themselves to meet the needs of their service. Always putting the needs of the individuals we support first.
The company has grown and developed over the years and has maintained the values which first drew me to the company – encourage and support, independence, choice and equality. It’s a privilege to work with the people we support. I’m looking forward to continuing my career with New Directions.
