As an organisation your receptionist is often the first face people see, they give the first impression of you as a company. That is why at LDC Care our reception team are made up exclusively of people we support. They are the centre of all we do so it only makes sense that they are the ‘Face’ of the organisation too.

 

They welcome visitors to our office, make teas and coffees and keep the shredder busy, all the things you would expect from a receptionist. And they do an amazing job! Interacting with other departments in the office and making sure we all work just as hard as them.

 

We have seen all 26 team members grow in confidence and they have told us their job has given them a purpose in life. They used their wages & we have had the joy of seeing them purchase everything from new outfits to saving for a holiday abroad. Many of the team have felt empowered to try other new things, including being involved in staff induction and staff interviews both internally and for the local authority.

 

We look forward to seeing what they do next with their newfound confidence and skills.
