“My experience working alongside Alliance Community as a support worker has been nothing but rewarding and the best experience which I will keep with me for life.

I started working with Alliance Community at the start of 2019 after years in retail, and I haven’t looked back since.

I really wanted to give people the support and care which is vital to their everyday living.  Being able to support someone and make a positive difference in someone’s life is the most rewarding and life-changing experience, like no other.

I don't have one wonderful memory in particular because for me it's every day I get out of bed to go support someone, the fact that what I am doing has a real purpose and watching each one of my client's smiles is my favourite memory.

I love being a support worker because when I leave my client I know I have just helped better their life in some way - whether it’s by making them a cuppa, hanging out the washing or washing their hair. I love the fact that I can make the biggest positive impact on someone's life that really matters and this can be by doing something big or small.”
