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."
