We have evolved so much beyond our initial hopes and expectations that our staff numbers have dramatically increased from an initial TWO part-time Support Staff in 2006, to over EIGHTY staff currently on our payroll.
Rather than just an exhaustive list of names, we thought it would be more in keeping to reflect how our team demonstrate their commitment and enjoyment of being an invaluable part of our team. Their hard work and dedication is very much appreciated by our Trustees, Management Team, Professionals and above all our Next Steppers and their families.
Below is a selection of comments written by our staff reflecting on working with us…
Naomi
“I have recently joined Next Step Trust. My experience so far has been great. Supporting so many different Next Steppers, with so many lovely and fun personalities. I have learned so much whilst being at Next Step and all of the staff have been so helpful and kind. Every day is different and I enjoy coming into work every day. I can’t wait to see the future of Next Step”
Jenny
“I have really enjoyed my first two months at Next Step getting to know all of the Next Steppers. I have worked with three Next Steppers who all have completely different personalities and needs. The support and help from staff has been amazing! I’m looking forward to getting to know more Next Steppers and expanding my knowledge in peg feeds and other training.”
Claire
“Not only do the Next Steppers make this a fantastic service and place to work but the staff do also by being such a warm, welcoming, happy and totally dedicated team. They provide support to the Next Steppers as well as to all other staff members. I have learnt so much from them and know that I will continue to learn, grow and be a part of this family. I am one of the very lucky few people in this world who can say with a smile on my face that I truly love my job”.
Joanne
“It’s a joy to come to the centre and support such fantastic people every day. Fun Factor!!”.
