Staff Voices

Lois Ward, currently Grant Funding and Social Value Co-ordinator

Working at ClwydAlyn has enabled me to progress over a number of years into new roles. I have met new people and teams, gained experience in different departments and completed many qualifications and training opportunities.

I initially joined ClwydAlyn as a catering assistant in one of our extra care schemes in Shotton. After two years, I secured an apprenticeship at head office in Business Administration and gained experience in finance, governance, communication and marketing and HR. I was also supported to attain a Level 2 Business Admin qualification.

On completion of my apprenticeship, I applied for a role in maintenance and became the Maintenance Co-ordinator for the Responsive and Voids team for 3 years.

I then progressed to my current role of Grant Funding and Social Value Co-ordinator. This involves working with senior managers and staff to identify opportunities for grant funding and supporting them with the measurement of funding impact and outcomes. I also manage a team of social value champions.

Louise Smith-Aldous, currently Health & Safety Officer

My career with ClwydAlyn started when I was still in school. I worked on a relief basis as a kitchen assistant and domestic assistant at Llys Eleanor Extra Care Scheme. I was able to carry on working weekends and holidays while I was studying Psychology at university until I finished my studies and began working full-time in the scheme.

I then secured a 12-month internship as a ‘Grow Your Own Assistant’ in the HR department, supporting the team with organising training, attending employability events and promoting recruitment in local schools.

At the end of my contract, I was given the opportunity to move across to the maintenance team as an Operations & Project Coordinator (H&S), this wasn’t a career path I had ever really considered but I found the role to be really interesting. As our team grew, my role became more focused on health and safety and I was able to gain three NEBOSH certificates in Health and Safety, Environmental Management and most recently an Environmental Management Diploma. My role is now Health & Safety Officer for the maintenance team, managing training, compliance and health and safety.

My goal is to continue to develop my career with ClwydAlyn while driving positive change and advocating for environmentally sustainable practices in the workplace.
