What I love about my job the most is feeling that I’m making a difference in somebody's life. Working with people with learning disabilities is rewarding more than anything I've done in my life. It could be stressful and hard at times but it is rewarding and fun. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work at all. 

Fernley is a fantastic place to work where everyone can reach their potential and use their strength. I always had a lot of energy and crazy ideas and I can use them to make the lives of our guys happier and more entertaining. If you're looking for something different to do as a career, activity support worker at Fernley is an amazing choice that offers fantastic opportunities, a great work/life ratio and fulfillment at the end of the everyday.

Working for the Frances Taylor Foundation for over 11 years has been incredibly satisfying and rewarding. Being a part of this organisation gives me a lot of determination that has enabled me to grow in my field of work from support worker to team leader.

There are a lot of things that I appreciate about FTF but the one that stands out the most to me is that it gives me the opportunity to balance work and life by their flexible working hours.

I work in a pleasant multicultural environment, and FTF’s values and ethos can be seen across the Foundation.

We have excellent personal and professional support from management team and tailored training programmes that enables me to continually develop and enhance my skills and abilities.

It gives me great pleasure working for FTF, the most rewarding part of my job is supporting people to live happy and independent lives, and seeing them achieving their goals is very fulfilling for me.

I have worked for Frances Taylor Foundation for over three years and I can honestly say that it is the best organisation that I have worked for. I started at St. Anne’s Extra-Care Supported Living and now I am working at Marina care home, two totally different services but both equally rewarding to work at. The managers in both services have given me encouragement and support that I have needed to develop my skills and knowledge. As a senior it has been challenging but very rewarding in terms of experience and personal development. I am proud to be part of the Frances Taylor team, providing dignity and respect to those whom we support.

Having just started at The Frances Taylor Foundation I am finding the work both extremely challenging and extremely rewarding. The residents who we look after are truly wonderful and deserving of the best possible care. I have received a good amount of training so far, as
part of the organisation’s induction process, which is ongoing. Before I started working here I hadn’t been in formal employment for some time as I was a full-time carer for my Dad. After my Dad’s death I looked for an occupation in which I could offer my caring skills. This a perfect place for me to work as I am in firm concordance with Charism of the Frances Taylor Foundation.

Working at St Mary’s has been an amazing experience. With lovely service users and very friendly staff, anyone would feel welcome.

St Mary’s offers many courses and training. With these I can use the knowledge I have gain on day to basis. This makes me feel confident when working. I love the fact that each service user is unique in their own way. Everyone brings a different personality which is so beautiful to see and experience. I am so happy to be part of the team.

After recently joining St Marys, I can proudly say I am more than happy to be a part of the team.

Everyone has welcomed me with open arms, everyone was open and helpful especially when it comes to how they do things here at St Mary’s. It has been amazing learning from my colleagues. I have been having training, so I know am doing my job confidently.

Working at St Anne’s is an exciting journey full of challenges and rewards. To see the people we support develop new skills, challenge themselves in new areas and grow in confidence makes the work we do feel valuable and motivating. The staff team at St Anne’s are a group of multi-skilled and enthusiastic individuals who go above and beyond in supporting each individual in a way that embraces the uniqueness of the person. Care, compassion and a sense of community is at the heart of St Anne’s. This makes it a truly special place to work.

We have good teamwork to offer the people we support varied and engaging activities. I particularly find the use of intensive interaction an amazing and somewhat emotional experience. It works on person centred principles and is a fantastic way to engage with those we support.

My confidence has grown during my time with the FTF and I have become an Advanced First aider, completed a Small Pool Operator’s certificate and I am working towards my QCF in Health and Social Care. I am also working with one of the people we support for them to gain an Edexcel qualification which is very rewarding. The training we receive from FTF is very good and I have been promoted to Senior Activity Worker with a specialism in art, drama and sensory development. I thoroughly enjoy my work and look forward to what each day brings.
