Careers

I started working at Meadows 4 years ago as a Residential Support Worker. During my first year I completed all training available to me at the time and worked hard on my personal growth with the support of my Manager and Senior Management. Within 1 year I became a Senior support worker and a few months later a Deputy Manager. Once I was comfortable and confident in my Deputy role, I was supported and encouraged to take the leap and become a registered manager. This is the proudest moment in my working career to have become an Ofsted Registered Manager at the age of 24 years old. I couldn’t and wouldn’t have taken those huge career leaps without the support, recognition and training from Meadows.
I’m lucky to work in a role I love and for a company who is so supportive.

I have been employed by Meadows Care for nearly 10 years, I started the job due to being made redundant from a job I was in for 10 years, I didn’t think I would be able to do the job as I had no experience or qualifications and I was a little hot headed. However over the years I grew to love the job and career I had chosen to do, my confidence improved, my ability to manage the young people with all different challenging behaviours, this also had a positive impact in my personal life with nephews and nieces. I learnt to do things differently and my patience improved and I learnt lot about myself. Over the years I have been extremely grateful to work with some of the best managers and staff I have ever worked with in a job, they showed me different skills to manage the young people I looked after over the years. I took the step up to Team Leader and then Registered Manager. One of the things I love about Meadows Care is the training they provide to all staff, I have made some good friends over the 10 years at Meadows and I am proud of how far I have got.

I have been working for meadows for a full year now, what a year it has been! Lots of good memories, experiences and training along the way. I personally couldn’t think of a better company, the support I receive daily by my manger is honestly the best. I have worked in most of the homes within meadows and it Is just fantastic to see how much of a difference we are making and happy our young people are – the opportunities are endless.

I have worked at Meadows Care for just over a year now and I can honestly say there has not been a day where I have not wanted to go to work , some days can be challenging but the rewards from making a difference daily makes it worth while.
When working with young people in a positive manner has shown me how to be more positive within myself I can not think of a better way of earning a living than supporting our young people through the challenges they face.

Working at Meadows Care has given me the opportunity to be flexible and the choice within working hours eg full time or part time , I had no previous experience when first joining it’s about being the right candidate , from the in house training to working within a team in a home Meadows Care offers support and guidance while working a day as an RSW.

Meadows is a warm friendly company, that has flourished into the Birmingham area from the North. What captured my eye with Meadow’s, is that their wish for young people is an everlasting change for young people. I have been working with Meadows for 3 years now, where I have been supported in now becoming the registered manager. The directors are so helpful also as well as the service manager and other managers, I would still not be with the company if that was not the case. Give it a chance to see the wonderful works that is done within the company.

Since starting with Meadows care in march 2020, my career has progressed immensely. I began as an RSW, having never worked in a residential setting before, to now being home manager at Barton Lodge, Birmingham and awaiting my OFSTED registration. The support throughout my career so far with Meadows has been amazing and I could not wish for a better company to work for. They have supported me through every step up from senior to deputy manager to now. I am proud to say I work for them and know the support will continue the whole time I am with them. Thank you Meadows for making me who I am today.

I have worked for Meadows Care for six years, and I absolutely love working for Meadows. I came to Meadows as an Independent Quality Assurance Officer and the moment I started working for Meadows I felt welcomed, valued, and invested in. An opportunity came up to work in Birmingham, I then applied and was successful for the role of Service Manager for Birmingham. I have continued to feel supported, listened to and well managed in my role. I have learnt so much at my time at Meadows and am very grateful for the opportunities and investment from them into my career.

I have been employed by Meadows Care for nearly 7 years. I have had the opportunity to progress throughout the years; from the beginning of my career at Meadows Care I started a temp to perm contract and was then made permanent staff member, I have had the opportunity to complete a L3 diploma among various training courses which enable you to understand and have the correct knowledge to work with the young people we support. I have progressed from a Support Worker to a Team Leader and then to a Registered Manager. I am now completing a L5 diploma which will help me to continue with my career path. Over the years at Meadows Care I have worked with some fantastic staff members, managers and also been able to support some amazing young people. I hope to continue working at Meadows Care for many years to come and I would definitely recommend Meadows Care as a company to work for, as the experience you have working here provides you with many skills, attributes and memories.
