Alicia Ward

Alicia Ward has worked as a Secretarial Support Assistant for over 5 years. She has a disability that affects her mobility, but that hasn’t affected us being able to provide her with a job that she loves."

“They have always looked at the things I can do, rather than the things I can’t. Nothing was an obstacle, which means a lot to me, and I was given a chance to prove myself."

“I have a specially adjusted chair and footrest and have been given an electronic device that opens all the doors automatically."

“When I first commenced employment nothing was too much trouble and they sorted things out really well. During my time at Alliance & Leicester I have made some suggestions for adjustments to make my working life easier and these have always been looked on very favourably.”
