From Support Worker to Registered Manager:

“My name’s Kayleigh Mullen. I’m a registered manager for Opal House, which is part of Stepping Stones Care. I joined Stepping Stones Care in 2021 and initially started out as a Senior Residential Support Worker. Very quickly, I was progressed to become deputy manager, and then by December 2021, I actually became a Registered Manager.”

Empowered Learning:

“When I joined Stepping Stones Care, I was already enrolled onto my level five diploma, but I was supported to finish that within a really short amount of time. I was able to have that one-to-one support from my line manager.”

Enrolled in a Level 5 diploma upon joining, she received personalised support, allowing her to complete the training swiftly. The one-to-one guidance reflects our dedication to nurturing the potential of each team member.

Passion Fuelled Training Opportunities:

“The training opportunities are really brilliant. I’ve been able to do things like a train the trainer course, so I’m now trained in delivering training myself, which is something that I was really passionate about as well.”

A Unique Ethos:

“I’ve worked in a number of different children’s homes organisations, and I think I’ve remained at Stepping Stones Care for such a long time because the ethos within the company is really child-focused, and that starts from the support workers straight up to the directors, and the support we get here is really, really good.”

What sets Stepping Stones Care apart? According to Kayleigh, it’s the unwavering focus on the well-being of the children. From support workers to directors, everyone is aligned with the ethos of putting the children first.
