Margo

I have worked with Crossroads (Perth & Kinross) for 19 years, I was a Care Attendant, then a supervisor before coming into the office to work as a Co-ordinator 3 years ago.

I occasionally still carry out care and respite. Crossroads is a good organisation to work for.

Teresa

I have worked with Crossroads (Perth & Kinross) since 1997, when I started, the flexibility of working around my young child appealed to me. I had previously worked in an office and different care settings.

Through the years I increased my hours to suit my family life. I enjoy the variety of working with clients and also completing assessments and reviews.

Jelena Dordev-Ivanova

Jelena trained as a nurse in Bulgaria, she moved to Scotland 13 years ago. Jelena was working in a takeaway before she came to Crossroads.

Jelena was keen to progress within Crossroads, she has been covering on-call and was keen to take up the opportunity to learn more about the office.

Jelena is now training to take over as a Co-ordinator.

Fiona

I have worked with Crossroads since 2016 and it is the most worthwhile, satisfying and rewarding job I have had.

A privilege to get alongside others and help make a positive difference to their lives. Each carer can bring something different to the job. I especially like listening to people sharing their memories, having a good singalong, doing something creative, going out for a walk or coffee.

The ongoing training and support ensures I am confident ad prepared in my role.

A great charity to work for!
