Success Story

Ryan Smith

Throughout his education Ryan had to overcome barriers and demonstrate his determination to succeed despite his condition – Asperger’s Syndrome. Not one to ‘shy away’ from a challenge, Ryan was eager to prove he had the qualities and skills to succeed.

Ryan successfully completed an Intermediate Apprenticeship in Adult Care, following which he went on to gain permanent employment within Care Plus Group’s Day Services.  Ryan’s caring and passionate nature enabled him to utilise his natural skills, abilities and personal values on a daily basis supporting people with learning disabilities, assisting service users to make informed decisions to promote their independence.

Ryan is an asset to Care Plus Group.
