What staff and volunteers say about me
It was lovely seeing the difference Gaddum makes in the community. I’d love to volunteer with Gaddum again in the future.
Gaddum is a great place to work. I have been given flexible working along with training and development opportunities. I have never worked anywhere that went out of their way when I needed it the most like they do.
My line manager is extremely supportive and the best line manager that I have ever had which makes all the difference.
Call me on 0161 834 6069 or send me a message to hr@gaddum.org.uk.
