It’s amazing when you see them progress by the end of the year.’ Isabela Braithwaite, Curriculum Manager describing her biggest buzz at work ‘when you make a difference to someone’s life whether it’s because you encouraged them to reach their potential and they have really made you proud, or if you have helped someone when they have struggled and then see them achieve’.
