A typical day as a house manager at Elidyr Communities Trust
No two days are the same in Nant Gwyn! In general I work 8.30am – 4.30pm, 5 days a week. My usual day starts with the morning meeting and organising where the learners need to be for the day. Then I’ll check staffing levels are correct. I have a lot of meetings and phone calls with stakeholders. It’s very important to have lists to keep on top of things and be able to prioritise whatever needs doing for the day.
The best thing about working at Elidyr Communities Trust

One of the biggest rewards is seeing the young people learn a new skill they did not have previously. Nant Gwyn is a busy environment and I enjoy this pace of working.
