Having always wanted to work in mental health and make a difference to those dealing with mental health challenges, Kate applied for a role at the hospital in mid-2022.

She said she was excited to be a part of the outstanding reputation the hospital had in incorporating exercise into mental health treatment programs and making a difference in the lives of patients.

“In the short time that I’ve been here, I’ve already met some of the most amazing people,” she said.

“The staff here are great, the patients that we deal with are always fantastic and just seeing their faces when they leave here after working with me and knowing I have made a difference to their lives is very rewarding.

“I couldn’t recommend working here enough.”
