“Every day is different”
A Support Worker shares how fun and stimulating her job is.
The best thing about being a Support Worker is that every day is different.
I feel like I’m developing in different ways every single day and I get to work with a really great team.
Before this, I was at university and then I worked in a pub and I felt like my brain was not growing and my cells were dying, and then I came here and it’s really taught me a lot and I feel like there’s a lot of room for progression as well.
I look forward to every day. It’s nice. I couldn’t imagine myself sat down at a desk with a 9 to 5, doing a monotonous job.
It’s quite exciting! Every day you don’t know what you’re going to get!
The best people for support work I think are people who are quite resilient and have a positive mental attitude and growth mindset, and are fun! Everyone here’s really fun! I think fun people do well at Southdown.
