Winnie - domestic supervisor
"I started working for Pennine Care in 1993 as a domestic assistant. I got my permanent contract after my 3 months’ probation period, and I am still here 30 years later!
I worked as a domestic in the offices, then moved over to clean all hall stairs landing. I absolutely loved buffing the corridors and seeing them shine like glass, gave such job satisfaction! Even if they didn't stay like that for long.
I left school with no qualifications, and never thought I would be anything other than a domestic. My line manager saw potential in me and prompted me to apply to be a team leader, which I successfully achieved.
After becoming team leader I began working in the community clinics, and enjoyed going to all of the different sites and getting to meet and know new people.
I then applied for a supervisors position which I have now been doing for far too many years to remember!
I love my job, we have a great team of managers and that really helps. They are keen to encourage me to learn new things, every day.
I would urge people to apply for jobs in the NHS as there are so many opportunities to progress and learn within a variety of different roles. I have seen fellow domestics go onto clinical pathways and become qualified nurses!
There are endless reasons why you should choose to work for the NHS.
They have a great pension, a generous amount of annual leave, discount schemes, and endless opportunities to progress. I wouldn't have stayed here for 30 years if it wasn't a great place to work! Once you work here you don't want to leave!"
