Reflections from SATEDA’s staff

Vacancy page - Valerie

"I initially started out as a volunteer myself wanting to help out in the local community, and volunteering is a great way to try out a new career or build new skills. I jumped at the chance to be part of the SATEDA team when the opportunity arose. It is a fantastic nurturing environment to work in, the team here are so dedicated and supportive to their clients, volunteers and each other. Even though there are challenges, it's a joy to be in a role where you can really make a difference and see the results in what you do."

"Working for a Swale charity offering a specialist women’s service means a lot to me. I've learnt so much more about domestic violence and its impact on women and their children. It becomes a part of your daily thinking and awareness. It's priceless knowing the young people I support benefit from our programmes, and for some it's life-changing. That's such a powerful motivation to offer the very best that I can to the mums and young people I support. The SATEDA Team are so dedicated and it's a pleasure to work alongside my colleagues and our volunteers."
