Saul Alison
My name is Saul and I have been the Senior Residential worker at Phoenix House since November 2018. I have been working in the Social Care sector for 13 years and I always have had a passion to make a difference in young people's lives and to enable them to be independent and confident in our world. I am Deaf since birth and a BSL user, and I have taken part in various sport competitions and have travelled around the world. If I can do this fun stuff then anyone can!

Kelley Hines
My name is Kelley. I started working at Oak Lodge in March 2014 and I am part of the residential team as ‘waking night staff’. My role is to care for the students during the night.
I started learning BSL in 2012 while working in retail as I was always interested in learning it and once I had my son I thought it was the perfect opportunity for a change and to learn a new skill. I've since finished my NQV level 3 in 2014. I'm really passionate about caring for people and love working at Oak lodge and hope to do so for years to come.

I'm Ben, I am a senior residential worker. I have been involved with deaf children and special needs students through my Theatre Arts and voluntary work. I am active in hiking, climbing and enjoy road trips very much on the motorbike. I strive to be a role model for the students here at Phoenix House and support them to achieve their potential.

Olegs Trescovs
Hi my name is Olegs, I have worked as a residential worker for 1 year at Oak Lodge and a year casual prior to that.
