I really missed the people and the department.In 2002 I saw an advert for an NHS Hotel Services Supervisor.I now had the skills and experience required for this post and relished the thought of being back home at old DGRI.I worked as a Support Services Supervisor for 20 years.
I love being a Supervisor working with Staff and patients based in DGRI.In 2022 a Support Services Managers post was advertised.
I was comfortable in my Supervisory role, it was daunting applying but I was ready for a new challenge.I am immensely proud of the part I now play in managing our recruitment process.
