Meet Jen
“Hi, my name is Jen. I’ve worked at Response for 8 years! I started at Response having spent the previous 6 years working in animal rescue. I initially took on the role of Referrals Coordinator which was a departure from my previous job working with all sorts of animals, but I enjoyed the challenge.”
A Varied Job
“No two days are the same at Response! I enjoyed interacting with the frontline staff as well as potential clients throughout my time in Referrals and took great pleasure in hearing about successful move ins and move ons. I also had many opportunities to meet and work with partners across mental health services in Oxfordshire.”
My journey at Response
“About 18 months after starting here, I moved to become a Quality Officer. I helped to continue the work of developing ReSET (Response Standard Evaluation Tool) which is an internal audit tool. I have also been involved in contract monitoring work, organisational development, the roll out of a new database for Adult Services as well as various ad-hoc work such as incident investigations. With the support of my line manager and using my personal development plan I have completed my ILM 3 to develop into a manager roll in 2020.”
Opportunities to develop
“One of the things that has kept me at Response for 8 years is the number of opportunities I have been offered: I have access to training and I am consistently encouraged to develop my skills. I also enjoy the flexibility offered for working from home as well as bringing one of my dogs to our dog friendly office.”
“Response is full of people who care about doing a good job for those who need our services and I enjoy seeing the dedication of our staff to everyone we work with.”
