Stepping Stones to Independence

I love being an employee of Stepping Stones. They really have come to my rescue due to my existing work being slow because of COVID, so they were flexible in being able to provide me with p/t work that suited me and my family. The training I received and was required to undertake was very in-depth and they had pivoted as a business amazingly well with everything I needed to watch/learn being all online. Due to current climate, there has been a real TEAM push to help and support eachother and the introduction of the Team WhatsApp groups allowed us to help cover any shifts, if and when required, whilst juggling temporary staff shortages due to illness. I've witnessed everyone pulling together as 'one team.' The regular emails and messages I receive that keep up us to date with current policies, procedures and regulations including COVID restrictions have been second to none and every step of the way, I have felt that not only are they very supportive and protective of our clients...

Having worked for stepping stones to independence i didn't have the best experience professionally. However they have amazing support workers who cared for my grandmother very well, they were polite, professional, caring and more importantly person centred which put my families mind at rest. The girls went above and beyond what we could of expected and we have already recommended this organisation to many. Keep up the good work stepping stones to independence.

I have only been working for Stepping stones for a few months. I did training before I saw any clients in a right protocol. My rota has worked around home life as I'm a carer for my parents. Office staff are always there to help me and others for advice when needed, everyday of the week including weekends. There is a serious side to the job where clients needs/ requirements to be met but seeing the clients on a regular basis has its advantages as you get to know their ways which means the job can be done in a friendly, homely environment. You can also have a laugh with clients and clients bantering with staff when appropriate situation arises. I like to thank the team for letting me join them as it's been delightful working with both staff and clients.
