Natalie is one of Potens’ North Wales Managers, who began her career in care after seeing an advert for support workers in a paper 21 years ago!

“I got into care after seeing an advert for a support worker in the paper. I had not considered anything like that before so thought I’d give it a try and absolutely loved it. That was 21 years ago! Following that I worked as a senior, then registered manager.
I joined Potens in October 2014 as Registered Manager for Orme House after working in similar roles in other organisations. Since day one, I have found the company to be nothing but supportive and there is always someone willing to help you when needed.
There is a strong emphasis in developing yourself and I have been constantly encouraged to further my learning, most recently completing my level 5 diploma in Management.
I am very proud of what we as a team have achieved at Orme House for the people we support. We have worked hard to focus on people’s independence and can see a massive difference in how people we support live their lives.
I have most recently been supported to apply for the Locality Manager position within North Wales. This was a massive achievement for me, and whilst I have only been able to carry this role out 2 days per week whilst still managing Orme House, I have thoroughly enjoyed all the opportunities it has given me to gain new skills and be involved in other activities.
Take all the opportunities available to you and you wont regret!”
