“I was drawn to the role because it allows me to work closely with people and play a meaningful part in their recovery.
"Many people we support have faced loss, rejection or abandonment, so having the time to understand their individual needs and build trust is really important.
"The best part of my job is seeing someone who once felt hopeless and isolated grow in confidence and independence, and achieve things they never thought possible.”
Angela has worked at Pennine Care for ten years, building her career from nursing assistant to technical instructor, and now as a support worker in our Tameside south specialist mental health team.
Her passion for helping others is rooted in her own experiences. Having overcome childhood trauma and facing cancer in her early thirties while raising two young children, Angela understands the importance of support during difficult times.
