At Positive Futures we take pride in the number of people that work for us who have progressed through the social care career pathways and realised their ambitions, many of whom are now in senior positions within the organisation.

We know It’s not for everyone and, we have plenty of dedicated staff who love providing support directly to people every day and that’s what they wish to continue doing but, for individuals who would like to pursue a career at a higher level in social care we try hard to enable people to achieve their dreams.

As part of the Social Care Council’s campaign focusing on careers in Social Care, Kerry Mallon, our Operations Director, Ireland, recently spoke on a podcast with Dr Wendy Austin. MBE recounting her own experience of ‘falling’ into the role of relief support worker as the start of a 20 year career which saw her appointed to the board of Positive Futures as Operations Director, Ireland in 2023.
