Position and service
Team Leader (TS South London).
What attracted you to working with Transforming Support?
I was particularly drawn to Transforming Support because of its strong commitment to values such as empathy, respect, and inclusivity. The company’s dedication to supporting individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs align perfectly with my passion for positively impacting people’s lives.
What is your experience in your field?
I have four years of experience in the healthcare sector. I began my career as a healthcare assistant, gaining foundational patient care skills. I then progressed to a support worker role, which allowed me to take on more responsibilities and develop a deeper understanding of the needs of those I support. Currently, I am a team leader, where I oversee a team of dedicated professionals and ensure that we provide the highest quality of care to the people we support.
What do you enjoy in your role?
What I enjoy most about my role is the opportunity to care for people and support their individual needs. It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that our efforts make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. Whether it’s helping someone achieve greater independence or simply being there to provide comfort and support, the impact we have is profound and deeply rewarding.
What do you like doing when you are not at work?
When I’m not at work, you’ll find me travelling, reading, swimming, and listening to music. I believe in living life to the fullest and experiencing as much as possible – whether it’s a new country, a new book, or a new playlist.
What’s your surprise skill?
Sewing and crocheting!
