Brilliant!

I absolutely Loved my time at A STAR it’s a very rewarding job! I didn’t want to leave but I decided to uproot to an area 130 miles away, the staff and service users are all brilliant!

My mum has worked there 10 years and still going strong. They’re brilliant with regards to training and gaining qualifications and guide you towards this.
