Hello, I have worked for FUN now since 2014, joining as a Volunteer Support Worker. Before I knew it I was employed to work at every service, I became a lead at Saturday Club and Respite Club and continue to do that now. Recently I have been promoted to Respite Services Co-ordinator. FUN is a great place to work although it is serious and sometimes very challenging no two days are the same, the children we support are so unique and make the role so rewarding.
