Our new day opportunities centre in Flintshire is not just a space for the people we support. It's an asset to the community too. 🤝

There's a café and shop where locals can buy fresh produce and meals made with food grown on site. And plans to launch a vegetable box scheme and turn surplus produce into chutneys, pickles and jams. 🥦

The hub is also strengthening links between health and social care services.

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board are using dedicated space to grow their Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy interventions in a community setting.

We believe that community is integral to wellbeing for everyone. Yet learning disabled people too often face barriers to inclusion, and experience higher rates of loneliness and isolation as a result.

That's why places like Coed Y Ddraig are so important. We're looking forward to a future where it's no longer unique.

💜 Applying for a care role from another sector? Never apologise for having a different background.

When you apply to join our team, you do not need a flawless CV in social care. What matters is how you connect your existing experience to the role.

Tell us how you support people, how you communicate, how you handle pressure and how you work in a team. Be specific with your examples. Saying "I worked in hospitality" is less helpful than explaining how you learned to stay patient during busy shifts and help people feel comfortable.

That level of detail makes it easy for us to see how your life experience will help you thrive as a support worker.

💜 You need the right values, not a perfect CV.

You do not need a flawless career history to be a great support worker. What matters most is who you are as a person.

Kindness, respect, patience, reliability and a willingness to learn are a great place to start. The role also calls for practical thinking, awareness and emotional steadiness. Some days involve familiar routines; others call for quick thinking and good judgement.

Everyone we support has their own goals and their own way of living independently. Bring your values, and we’ll provide the training and guidance you need.

Jack and Leah are getting stuck into their roles at our café in North Wales! ☕

This Happiness at Work Week, we caught up with them to find out what they enjoy most about working at Caffi Dai.

For Leah, it’s the people and the opportunity to get involved in the kitchen:

“I have made new friends and it has given me confidence in dealing with people and talking to the public. I like getting involved in the cooking and one of my favourite jobs is prepping the salads.”

Jack enjoys meeting customers and being part of the friendly café team. And there’s an added bonus to working in a café…

“It’s a friendly café to work in,” he said. “The cakes here are very good – I like the vanilla cake.”

Happiness at work can be influenced by having autonomy, opportunities to learn new skills, supportive colleagues and an atmosphere where you feel comfortable being yourself. Caffi Dai gives our interns the chance to develop all of these things while gaining experience in a real workplace.

We’re excited to see where those new skills take Jack and Leah in the future! 💜
