Meet The Staff

I joined Pathfinders in September 2020 after a 12 year career in Hospitality. My role of Business Services Manager is a new role, overseeing the Business Support Team and all internal/external communications within the business. I am very excited to be given this opportunity, Pathfinders-Care have welcomed me into their family and I am very much enjoying to being a part of this fast growing business.

I started my journey here at Pathfinders in 2018. I first began working on the Housekeeping team ensuring all the bedrooms and communal areas were tidy and presentable. In September 2018, I applied to be the main receptionist and was successful, from that day, I knew that was the role for me, working within a team and supporting other departments in the business. From then I progressed from reception working on our new software, Planday, making sure it was compatible with the business and staff. With the new skills I had learnt I then went on to working in Payroll. I started studying to further my knowledge and have completed Sage Levels 1, 2 and 3 in Processing Payroll. Over the last year I have started assisting within the Accounts Team and have completed my AAT Level 2.  Pathfinders is a great place to work if you are driven and wanting to progress further into a career, as there are endless development opportunities to succeed.

I love my role as PST (Personal Support Team) I find it very rewarding being able to support an individual on a 1:1 basis. The young gentlemen I currently support is a real character, since I became his 1:1 I have learnt ways to communicate with him and to understand what he needs.

We have karaoke and disco afternoons, we close the curtains, put his flashing lights on, music and dance around the room with him in his wheelchair, it’s such an amazing feeling to hear him laugh and seeing him enjoy himself.

This young man is my third 1:1 patient since I started this role approx. 6 years ago, I began my journey in the kitchen nearly 13 years ago, I role I really enjoyed but found my niche when I joined the PST team.

I love that that get to help promote their independence where possible and I give 100% to making every day a happy day.

My role at Pathfinders is Finance Officer. I joined the business at the beginning of 2020 after one of my family members had experienced the outstanding care that they received when they were admitted due to having an accident. At that heart breaking point in my life I was met with caring, friendly staff and knew my loved family member was safe and cared for. From day one of my employment I was met by the same friendly staff and made to feel at ease exactly the same as I had when I was a visitor. Since my employment began I have progressed within the company and feel a valued member of the team. I thoroughly enjoy my role at Pathfinders and feel well supported. Pathfinders supports all staff and gives lots of opportunities to allow you to grow within the business and I know that this will continue throughout my employment with the company.

I joined Pathfinders-Care in 2012 as an enabler, I settled in well and was enjoying my role. The following year a vacancy for a kitchen assistant was advertised, and after a successful interview I was so excited for a new challenge with another fantastic team.

Angela, one of our directors was very impressed with my work and asked if I would take on the role of Team Leader… I was elated!!
I love creating meals for our patients, i especially enjoy learning new skills at various courses i attend in order to give our patients exactly what they ask for! 
Pathfinders-Care is a great place to work with excellent training and progression opportunities.
