“Being a part of the community rehabilitation team is a very rewarding and varied job. I really enjoy being able to build relationships with our residents, enabling me to support them through difficult but also exciting and new experiences. I love that we can get involved with activities in the house such as communal meals and games nights, which gives the role a nice balance. It’s a pleasure to work with people and see them grow their confidence, discover their passions and develop their skills.” 

“Working at Wellbridge House alongside professionals including Psychologists, Nurses, and Occupational Therapists, has given me invaluable experiences to build my knowledge of Mental Health Services and improve my confidence working in this sector."
