Successful Placement Extended
Lindsay joined the Valley Transitionz programme in February 2007. The volunteer tasks and contract gardening work that he was involved in helped to build up his confidence.
By August 2007 Lindsay was confident enough to start part time work as a Laundry Assistant/ Housekeeper at Summerset Trentham. He works 3 hour shifts 3 days a week. He has to ensure that the laundry is washed, dried, folded and put away in the correct cupboards, in three hours, that could be 3 loads of laundry. While waiting for the laundry to be washed and dried, Lindsay is responsible for the cleaning of 9 bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms!! It is a lot to fit into 3 hours but Lindsay has got himself into a routine and enjoys the work.
The Manager of Trentham Summerset is very impressed with Lindsay’s diligence and reliability and at his 6 month review, he was offered more hours and an extension of his work placement. His job now also includes playing the piano in the residents’ lounge Lindsay composes his own music and the residents enjoy and look forward to the half hour “concert” on the days Lindsay works.
