What our clinical leads say about working at TCS

I love working for Thornbury Community Services as a paediatric clinical lead nurse predominantly because of the sheer joy and fulfilment I experience in assisting a diverse array of children and families. It’s extremely rewarding to contribute positively to their lives. The robust support I receive from TCS in personal and professional aspects enhances my work experience. I appreciate this unique blend of meaningful work and a supportive environment the most.

– Richard, Paediatric Clinical Lead

My favourite thing about my role is the people we support. I have never met two individuals alike. Each has their own likes, dislikes, and interests which makes my role really varied and enjoyable. I love witnessing the progress the people we care for make and how they achieve things that may seem second nature to others but is an incredible achievement for them.

– Arianwen, RNLD Clinical Lead

“I love the incredibly supportive team that we have here at TCS. There is always someone there to help, and there is a general “can-do” attitude; this attitude is shared through the teams and ultimately benefits and enriches the lives of the people we care for. The clinical lead role promotes a level of autonomy that I have never received in my previous nursing roles; I love the feeling of value that that gives me.”

– Lisa, Clinical Service Lead
