How long have you worked at the 蘑菇视频 Foundation?
I’ve worked at the 蘑菇视频 Foundation for around 5 years now.
What has your journey been within the Foundation to get to where you are today?
I started out as a Bank Support Worker at Northern Counties School just after the COVID lockdown ended.
After a couple of years I moved to Horizons. Then a job advert came up – a Therapy Support Assistant with the Speech and Language team. It was a leap of faith; I’ve never worked in the therapy side of things, but I鈥檝e seen first-hand how much of a difference things like Intensive Interaction can bring to people鈥檚 lives.
I joined the team at the end of October last year, and so far they鈥檝e let me stay!
What are some of the biggest changes you鈥檝e seen in your time at the Foundation?
I鈥檝e seen some of the people I supported at Northern Counties School move to the Hub and been amazed at the progress they鈥檝e made.
Since I joined the Speech and Language team we鈥檝e expanded with 2 new therapists, moved to new offices along with the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams, and redesigned our provision from scratch. It鈥檚 an exciting time for us.
What鈥檚 your favourite part about your role?
The variety, the difference it can make, and meeting so many different people who do fantastic things.
