Case Studies
Katy
When Katy* had a terrifying choking incident at home, her mum was understandably concerned about what this meant for her care going forward. Thankfully, ECL’s own specialist Speech and Language Therapist was on hand to provide expert guidance and support to keep her safe and well.
Mick
Despite a long and varied career which had seen him excel in the fields of retail, sales, and operations management, Mick never really felt that he’d found his calling. Thankfully, he stumbled across an ad on social media for flexible Community Care Assistant roles with ECL and realised that this could be the opportunity he’d been looking for.

Rhys

When Connor first showed an interest in joining ECL’s Inclusive Employment Scheme, his mum was quick to express her concerns.

Thankfully, the team were able to convince them to give it a shot…
Nadine
After being made redundant from her job of 23 years, Nadine decided to take the opportunity to think about what she really wanted out of a career. Realising that her office-based role had been lacking in reward, she started the search for a position in care so that she could give something back to people in need.
