“I’ve worked as a Team Leader at Ruskin Lodge for 10 years now.
As the years have gone by my role has changed somewhat and definitely progressed.
I have been given the opportunity to progress within my career through further education, in-house training, support and guidance from my Manager.
My role is certainly challenging at times and it is an extremely rewarding job for too many reasons to mention.
It’s safe to say we are family!”
Jane – Team Leader
I looked after my Mum in her later years until she passed away and I was feeling at a bit of a loss when she died.
I decided to volunteer at Pilks as I wanted to help others and give something back. After I finished working, I looked after my mum who was living with dementia and my dad who had a stroke, I know I made a difference to my parents and I wanted to make a difference for others.
