In this occasional series of #StaffStories, we share the stories of people who work at MacIntyre, and what they enjoy about their jobs.
From Bedfordshire to Warrington
Joanna started her MacIntyre journey in 1980 at our very first site, in Bedfordshire. She describes it as an amazing place to work and the only one of its kind at the time. Joanna was lucky enough to work alongside our founders, the Newton Wright family. MacIntyre became her home as well as her workplace.
Later, she moved to Warrington to help support people coming out of long stay hospitals, which was so rewarding in a completely different way.
For the past 20 years Joanna has worked in Lifelong Learning in Warrington, where she is now the manager. She says:
I take pride in how the MacIntyre DNA still reflects our founder’s vision. I have absolutely loved my journey so far, and hope both MacIntyre in Warrington and I will continue to grow on this fantastic adventure together.
