A Day in the Life of a SIL Support Worker

"I started to work for SIL recently and wanted to say a big thank you to everyone I have met. In forty years of working, never have I met such a group of lovely people. Starting a new job can be a daunting experience but everyone has made me feel so welcome it has been a real pleasure.  I also believe that the quality and standard of work is very high and it is nice to work with such committed people."   SIL staff member

Here are some other quotes made by members of staff who have returned to work at SIL:

"The ethos of the organisation match my own."

"The organisation puts the service user at the centre."

"Staff are treated well and there is a great atmosphere and team spirit."
