Meet Our Support Workers

Meet our Support Workers at OSC.

Our Residential Support Workers are at the heart of everything we do, providing round-the-clock support and ensuring our young people receive the highest standard of care.

No two days are ever the same at OSC, but our dedicated team is always there to offer the guidance, stability and encouragement our young people need to thrive.

We’re proud to introduce the incredible individuals who make this possible.

Introducing Jean, Sam & Emma, Support Workers at Stan House

Jean has been part of the OSC team for a year and values the strong focus on young people’s wellbeing and development. “I feel respected and valued as a member of the team,” Jean shares, highlighting the supportive culture that makes the role so rewarding. When not at work, Jean enjoys mindfulness 🧘, long walks with two French bulldogs 🐾, and watching Christmas films 🎄 all year round — especially The Holiday.

For Sam, working at OSC means no two days are the same. “Every day is different and presents new opportunities and challenges,” he says — and that’s exactly what he loves about being part of a team dedicated to supporting young people to grow and thrive. Outside of work, Sam enjoys hiking mountains 🏔️, making music 🎵 and camping under the stars ⛺ — usually with classical music 🎻 playing in the background.

Outside of work, Emma enjoys the quieter moments in life. She loves birdwatching in her garden 🐦🌿 and relaxing by the fire wrapped up in a cosy blanket 🔥🧣. When it’s time to unwind, you’ll likely find her listening to music and singing along 🎧🎶.

Emma describes working at Stan House as being part of a

second family ❤️.

She loves supporting the boys and helping them feel safe, secure, and happy in their home 🏡.

Emma also enjoys how every young person brings something different to the house, making each day rewarding and unique ✨.

Introducing Steph & Kira - Support Workers at Park View

Stephanie Gormanley finds working at One Step Care both fun and engaging, with plenty of opportunities to support young people while continuing to develop her skills. Since joining, she has enjoyed building her knowledge and putting it into practice within the new home, with trips to Blackpool 🎡 being a particular highlight.

Outside of work, Stephanie loves spending time with her family and attending shows and concerts together. Music is something they all enjoy and it gives them the chance to connect with others who share similar interests. 🎶

While she says she doesn’t really have a guilty pleasure, she admits watching EastEnders 📺 might count!

Kira Johnson describes working at One Step Care as being part of a second family. With a supportive management team and approachable colleagues, she feels the positive staff culture makes every day enjoyable. Kira especially loves the variety in her role, from supporting young people in different activities to helping create a welcoming and positive environment within the home. Seeing the opportunities available to young people grow is something she finds incredibly rewarding. 💙

Outside of work, Kira enjoys spending time with her family and getting outdoors for walks to the beach with her French Bulldog, Woody 🐶. Her guilty pleasure? A full day relaxing on the sofa in pyjamas — the perfect way to recharge! 🛋️✨
