Accomplishments

Employee of the month (oct 2024)

“The reason for your nomination is because of how well you complete the STRIVE documentation. You use pictures, completing the section in extreme detail, showing how much the person you support has made. It is clear to see how comfortable he is going into his new local area, this shows how persistent the team have been for him to feel so comfortable doing this. You have supported the team in developing their skills so that even when you are not there, the adult in question is able to feel better with other members of his team, not only his key worker. You demonstrate how much you care when you complete the monthly paperwork, and it is endearing to see“.
