An aspect of the job I love is the opportunity to really get to know the individuals in our care and understand the things that they enjoy and what they don't. My favourite thing about working here is watching somebody coming out of their shell and grow in confidence. It's great to see someone go home with a completed project they are really proud of.

What I enjoy the most about working at The Centre is the social aspect, it is so rewarding seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter and having great conversations with the individuals that attend our service.

I've been working in a wood workshop for the past six years, supporting adults with varying disabilities. My role combines creativity, hands-on craftmanship and meaningful social interaction - everything I love about my job. I particularly enjoy woodwork and craft pyrography, where I can help others explore their own creativity while developing new skills. The social aspect is one of the most rewarding parts for me; it's a fun and fulfilling environment where no two days are the same.
