"The opportunity I had to join PETA has been great as I can help people find their dream apprenticeship role and help them start their future as I did."
What led you to work for PETA?
I started as an apprentice doing business administration back when I was 16 years old, it gave me a real kick start to my career. The role was based in a small care company. I found a passion for Administration as I am an organised person.
I moved on into an administration role based in construction but missed the personal side of the care industry, so fell back into a care role. A recruitment position was then offered to me, and I’ve not looked back since. I love recruitment as I am a people person.
