I began working with Dimensions Care in June 2021. Straight away I was made to feel at ease and welcomed in by the management team. With this being my first time working in residential care, I had some anxiety, however Laura and Wayne were always there to help and answer any questions.
It’s been really rewarding being part of a brand-new care team and building a home for the young people we care for. In such a short amount of time, I believe we have a built an amazing team and each one of us have different strengths which benefit and learn from.
Working at dimensions care has given me a greater work life balance, everyday is so different and I am getting to challenge myself, learning new hobbies such as fishing and really enjoying spending time with the kids. The family environment is warm and there is always laughter and fun to be had.
