What do our staff say? Meet Prisca, a Senior Support Worker in Adult Care, originally from Africa, who's been with us for more than a decade. She said: "A job came up at NEAS working with adults and I applied. I was nervous because I didn't know a lot about autism but I was passionate about helping people, so I went for it." But thanks to our career paths and development support she's come a long way since then??? "Yes, I have, but I couldn't have done it without the support of my managers throughout the years. I've loved doing every kind of different training and learning how to do the job better, how to help the Service Users and I've loved learning more and more about autism. I remember my manager asking me if I was going to go for the post of 'Senior Support Worker,' and I thought, 'what? - how can I do that? English is my second language, I don't know if I have the skills!' But every step of the way I've been supported and encouraged. Like I say, it's like family, and family helps one another."
