Why TASC works for me!

Hi, my name is Helen and I'm the Chief Operating Officer at TASC.  For me working in TASC enables me to use my management skills in a way that supports people involved in day to day services for clients.  Working in a highly professional environment, while supporting the people who support some of the most marginalised people in our community, really gives me the best of both worlds.  I feel like in my own way I'm helping to make a difference, and I'm continuing to develop and utilize my own professional skills.  Particularly as a former practitioner in the not for profit sector this is ideal.
 
TASC is about the people - while our new premises are lovely, it's the team & the people who make it the place it is.  And it's a great team with dedicated professionals who genuinely care about their clients and their fellow team members.  As the saying goes if you find something you love doing, you'll never work a day in your life (because you're being paid to do what you love) - and with TASC I think that sort of dream is very much a possibility. 
 
TASC also offers a great lifestyle balance with a 9 day fortnight, additional annual leave over Christmas and flexible working hours - as a working mother I find this a fantastic bonus.
