I work with a fantastic team of dedicated OTs who support one another on a daily basis with the attitude of ‘there is no such thing as a silly question’, where each day I have the opportunity to spend time with amazing individuals within my caseload and provide quality interventions in the knowledge that the provision of a holistic service is the foundation of Positive Step and that I am able to manage my own work-life balance with flexible working hours which is a game changer when you have two young kids!
