I returned to work for Sussex Housing & Care | News

We enjoy welcoming back staff and here Nikolaos shares his story about returning to work for us after experiencing a job elsewhere.

“I spent five years with Sussex Housing & Care as a care home Kitchen Assistant and a Domestic, and then moved to working at a fast-food outlet as a Kitchen Assistant. My skill set lent itself to this new role, but it was soon clear that other members of the team moved on quickly and the role wasn’t as rewarding as I had hoped.

I was attracted back to working for Sussex Housing & Care because I know the company and the support management give you. I soon settled in the team at Saxonwood care home in Battle and have a good working relationship with everyone. Being part of a stable team is important to me and we are all friendly to each other, we share suggestions and ideas and help solve problems.

Being a Kitchen Assistant is interesting as I enjoy talking with residents and feel valued when they thank me for the food I’ve helped to prepare. Working in the kitchen is good fun and a privilege to be in our residents’ home where I experience new things every day.”
