Van Fernandes

Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner and Counsellor

I have worked at St. John's for 11 years. The philosophy and approach to supporting learners is second to none and the multi-disciplinary approach provides a holistic service that increases quality of life for young people.

Don Burrows

Residential Support Worker

St. John’s to me is a place of comfort and freedom, I say this as it’s apparent to me that our staff and learners come from all walks of life, with this we show understanding and respect to each other. I have made some of my most cherished memories here, along with learning so much about myself. I find great pleasure in telling people what I do for St. John’s. Our learners are amazing people to know and it’s a joy to be around them.

Sandra laker

Lead Residential Support Worker

I have worked for St. John's for over 14 years. I have been rewarded so many times working in a care setting with learners, giving me a chance to help them progress.

Fran Pass

Headteacher at St. John’s School

I started working for St. John’s in September 2018. From that moment and even during the interview process, I was made to feel part of the 'family', who have one vision, to improving outcomes for pupils'. You are made to feel that what you bring to the journey of improvement, has real importance.

Martha Martin-Baeza

Deputy Care Manager

I joined St. John’s in 2008 as a Support Worker and have had the pleasure of working in several of the Brighton houses. The moment I joined, I knew that I wanted to develop my career and St. John’s gave me this opportunity. Within my time here, I have been lucky enough to develop within my role and I have been a Lead Residential Support Worker, Team Leader and I am currently now a Deputy Care Manager. I have just completed my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Young People’s Services. I am thankful for St. John’s as they invested the time in me to be able to carve out a career within the Social Care Sector and develop within each of my roles. St. John’s isn’t just a job, it is a career.
