Its hard to put into words what has motivated me to stay at FitzRoy for 50 years. I love working with the people we support it really is all down to them. The connection you make with them and the difference you are making is the real delight of the job.

You dont become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someones life. Thats what made me want to do this job I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice.

FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction.
