Hadrian OfficerMeet the Sheltered Housing Officers: Melanie Ward and Rachel Waterworth

"Hi my name is Melanie and I have been a Sheltered Housing Officer for 4 years now. I have always enjoyed helping people and was previously a Deputy Manager in an Older Persons home before coming here - so I feel like I was able to bring lots of experience with me when I came to Hadrian House.

"I’ve enjoyed learning all about the people and the area as it is part of a very tight close-knit community and there’s a lovely group of people living here.

"If I had to describe myself I would say I am quiet, understanding and patient."

Rachel Waterworth"Hi, my name is Rachel. I used to work as a systems administrator and I have to say my computer skills have come in very handy in this job!

"Hadrian House has a really friendly feel to the place because people here are a very close community and everyone looks out for everyone else.  Some people find it difficult to get out and about so I often organise trips and love it when I see how much people enjoy themselves.  As I’m from Yorkshire we often head down that way because I know all the best places to go. We will be going down in the near future to go the Christmas Market in York – always a treat!"
