NEW Care celebrated the achievements and success of Declan Callaghan, a valued employee for five years, to coincide with National Careers Week.
Over the course of his time with the operator, Declan, aged 29, has undertaken a range of roles with the company, successfully furthering his career, making him an exemplary employee.
Declan joined New Care in February 2018 as a senior care assistant at Grosvenor Manor, a state-of-the-art care facility in Chester.
He had previously been a senior care assistant for another firm but was attracted to New Care due to its approach to caring for and supporting residents, as well as valuing staff.
Just before Covid, Declan had applied to do an Open University Course in Business Administration, and with lots of study ahead of him, he accepted the role of head of hospitality at Grosvenor Manor.
Covid halted his plans to study and, during the pandemic, a position at New Care became available in recruitment.
After 10 months as senior recruitment coordinator, Declan’s natural ability to successfully recruit suitable individuals became apparent and he was promoted to recruitment lead. He now heads up a small team, looking after all of New Care’s 12 care facilities across the UK.
