Meet Pamela Twomey, Care Assistant

I have been a Care Assistant in the organisation for over 20 years and have mainly worked in residential locations. Part of my role is planning activities in the centre as well as in the community.

An aspect of my job that is really important to me is promoting advocacy for people we support. My main aim is to ensure people achieve their goals, highlight their choices and make sure their voices are heard.
