Evelyn’s Story

I started with Wood Care Group back in 2012 as a Care Assistant what surprised me most was the culture was different to were I had worked previously the directors and managers were interested in my opinion I certainly wasn’t just a number to them.
I loved my time as a care assistant but wanted to progress. I was asked about progression and my career development and jumped at the opportunity. I then became a senior carer with a plan in place to help me achieve the qualifications I needed to achieve my ambition of becoming a manager one day.
I was supported all along my journey and I’m proud to say in 2015 I achieved my ambition becoming a registered care home manager in Wood Care Group.
Through my hard work and the support of the company I am now a manager of an award winning care home and love going to work every day supporting my team on their career journey just like I was.
Our employees options matter that’s why we created Employee Voice. Each homes have regular meetings with the directors to gain employees views on the direction of the company moving forward.
