Testimonial – Reece | 17 | Kitchen Assistant at Magna Care Centre
“I love how busy my job keeps me and how no two shifts are the same. I enjoy spending time with the residents and hearing their life stories. Each shift teaches me something new, and I feel my confidence growing every day because of it. I love watching the Chef cook and learning how to cook nutritious and tasty meals. I often go home and practice these ideas, which I really enjoy.”

“I started working at Denham Manor when I was 17. Building relationships with residents over time is one of my favourite parts of my job. Coming into work each morning and seeing smiles on our residents’ faces brings so much joy and purpose into my life as I know that when I leave at the end of the day, I have contributed to someone’s health and happiness at our home.”
