John – Grounds Person

Time working at the Service: 3 years

I work at all of the sevices and one of the best things about doing that is always having variety in my work. I love working outside and being involved in creating beautiful gardens and play spaces for children. It’s good to know my work keeps them safe with the maintenance I do on the building and my working in the garden

Lots of the children know me and often ask how I am fixing something and I can get them involved in fixing some things too. They love to ask questions and to compare my work with other peoples.

I am committed to making sure that the children have a beautiful and inspiring outdoor environment and that the centre is maintained to a high standard.
