Exceptional Colleagues. Consensus is not just a support provider – we’re a community of amazing people dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the people we support. So let’s share a little glimpse into what our exceptional colleagues have been up to this year.
Emmanuel’s Career Journey.
Meet Emmanuel, one of our rising stars. After taking his first ever job at Consensus, he has excelled at every stage of his career, leading to his recent registration with CQC. And in his first inspection as manager, the report read, “The registered manager was described as ‘special’ in relation to their work at the service on more than one occasion.”
Having graduated from Edge Hill University in 2017 with a first class BSc and MA in Sociology, Emmanuel’s desire to make a positive difference in others’ lives was evident from day one. His willingness to do anything and everything needed to provide the best support to the people in his care and his peers, means he is loved by all around him. Even now, in his role as Service Manager, he still considers himself a support worker – as supporting people is what he’s here to do.

The inspection was one of the highlights of his career to date – and you can read the wonderful report below.
Mandy showed how much the culture and service had progressed and demonstrated the inspiring nature of her leadership.
