Looking to her future she decided the vet industry was no longer where she could pursue the work she enjoyed so much, so she began looking for a role with a customer focus but most importantly a company with a purpose,” I wanted to work in a position where I could create immediate change for people day to day as well as contribute to a greater purpose. I remember reading out the job ad for this role to my mum and telling her “That’s exactly what I’m imagining!” Pippa said.

I’ve been here just over three months, and the role has been even better than I anticipated. The more I learn about Foodbank, the work we do now and the opportunities we have to make such a difference in the community, the happier I am to be here and contributing to such a great cause.”
