Case Study
Lynsey – Team Coordinator at Step Up
Lynsey joined the Step Up team in October of 2018 having previously worked as a Cleaning Assistant at Stirling Council. In her previous line of work, Lynsey developed an eye for detail, excellent interpersonal skills and had demonstrated a commitment to hard work. These qualities made her perfect for the role of a Support Worker and she soon excelled on her new career path here at Step Up.
Lynsey joined Step Up at an exciting time shortly after we opened our second office in Alloa, Clackmannanshire. This brought along its own set of challenges for the business as a whole as we adapted to new logistical and organisational changes. We are happy that Lynsey joined us at this pivotal time as it allowed her to gain first-hand experience of working in a growing business environment.
In April 2020, Lynsey was promoted to the position of Team Coordinator, bringing new challenges and responsibilities to her role, which she has taken in her stride. As Team Coordinator, Lynsey now has the additional responsibilities of coordinating the activities of other Support Workers as well as additional risk management.
At Step Up, we support all our staff by providing ongoing opportunities for professional development. As such, on completion of her probationary period in her new post, we will be funding Lynsey through her SQV Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care. We look forward to continuing to support Lynsey in her role at Step Up
Here’s what Lynsey had to say: “I like working with Step Up because every day is a new experience and I am constantly learning new skills. I enjoy helping make a difference no matter how small this maybe in our service users lives. I get a good home to work life balance and allows me to spend time with my loved ones. Staff and management are all friendly and always willing to help.”
