Our company strongly values internal progression, fostering a culture where our team are empowered to grow, develop their skills, and advance their careers. Hear from some of our current staff members who have climbed the career ladder in care: Louis Benfield, Mobilisation Support Manager: "Amore has been great. I've progressed very well since joining this company, and I've seen others start from support work to working as Complex Care case officers. I've seen support workers with very little come in and progress really well into Team Leader roles. Before Amore, I was a Registered Manager supporting clients with learning disabilities and struggling with their mental health. I started here as a House Manager for a 4-1 client and then progressed to a Registered Manager position after two years. Holding the Registered Manager title for around 18 months, I have progressed onto the role of Mobilisation Support Manager. The investment from Amore is really what sets them more apart, in my opinion, from a lot of other providers. They are always looking to sort of promote people internally, and I think you always feel valued with them more. No matter who you are, your voice is always heard and it's just a really good company to work for."
