Beginning of a Journey
He was on shift with the ambulance service dropping a patient when he got talking to some staff about how he wanted to change jobs and he was asked to come back on the Monday morning to speak to the manager. He was told what a great place it was to work at and how the team all get on really well and support each other.

Phil Says
He says: “I already knew some staff here from my time with the ambulance service and knew it was a place I would enjoy working – everyone is no nice and friendly. I have been supported massively here at Ledbury, not only on a professional level but personally too. Any training I have asked to do it has been arranged for me.”
