Hi, my name is Emma Boylin. I worked at Llys Ton for over 10 years, originally, I worked for Drive as a kitchen assistant before moving over to care.

I enjoy my job, teaching the service user new skills and keeping their independence, I feel like I have a lot to offer in their everyday tasks. Care has taught me a lot about myself, and I have continued to learn new skills. I value myself as a team member and my colleagues and I enjoy coming to work.

Hi, my name is Louise Darke. I worked at Llys ton for over 10 years, when I first started, I was a quiet and shy person but over the years I have come out of my shell with the help and support of my colleagues and service users. I enjoy the day-to-day interaction with the service user, the job is rewarding when the service user is smiling and appreciative. I know that I have given my all. It's nice to be a helping hand.
