Sarah joined Treloar’s 9 years ago as a bank member of staff. This gave Sarah an opportunity to see if she liked the role. She loved it so much she went onto become a full-time member of staff employed as one of our classroom technicians. 

In the classroom Sarah learnt and developed so many different skills. Including how to support young people with complex communication, using high- and low-tech devices. In addition to supporting young people with complex medication routines, feeding needs and managing individuals' postural management needs. 

Sarah has recently been promoted to a senior role on the residential house as a Deputy Team Leader. She supports students with all aspects of their daily life from getting up, getting to college and their evening routines, including different activities and clubs they may like to attend. Sarah’s role includes supporting staff to ensure the shift runs smoothly on the house. 

“The students are amazing. They inspire you. I love watching them progress.”

Treloar’s are supporting Sarah to achieve her Level 4 Lead Practitioner in Adult Care qualification. 

"It’s one of the most amazing jobs you’ll probably ever have."
