Another fantastic group of new starters finished their training today - all ready to join us in service!

The group got on so well they wanted a group picture to mark the occasion before they started at our day and residential services. 💖

One of our trainers said: "It's great to show off the wonderful staff that I get to train, especially when they provide such insight and knowledge both to the training and to each other."

We look forward to seeing their next steps! ✨
