Debbie, Support Worker:
I love working with the people we support, it really is all down to them. Chloe, Support Worker:
You don't become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someone's life. That's what made me want to do this job - I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice.
Alan, Support Worker:
FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work, everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life, and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction.
