Low pay is an issue for all social care providers – we all know support workers are not paid enough for the invaluable work that they do. Brandon is committed to being a voice for change. Our Interim CEO, Helen England, is ensuring Brandon is campaigning for change alongside other social care providers.

Tara Bird, Brandon’s Early Careers lead, explains how Brandon supports staff to continuously develop throughout their careers.

For people who are experiencing dementia, it is sometimes difficult to get a diagnosis. It can be especially hard if other factors are involved, for example, if the person has a learning disability or if they communicate non-verbally.

A new and exciting venture is coming to the centre of Bristol. If you remember the old Marks & Spencer in Broadmead, well, after a few months of hard work, the space has been converted into a new Arts and Sustainable Hub - called SPARKS - and Brandon is thrilled to be involved.

I started with Brandon last September as I'd just dropped out of uni and was looking for a role that didn’t require me to have a degree or any experience.

Hello there. My name’s Richard and I’m a Brandon support worker. Last year, I was tasked with thinking up and working towards some new, positive outcomes for Theo, who I support in Cornwall.
