Day in the LIFE
Nathan Duff Health Improvement Specialist
Nathan usually works with external partners to find the best solutions for the Borough’s health needs. Since March, he has been answering and making phone calls, putting support in place for residents with serious health conditions to help with prescriptions, food parcels, shopping and more.

Toni Sedgwick Family Support Worker
Toni’s role normally relies on direct contact with families providing classes, parenting programmes and more. With face-to-face gatherings no longer an option, the Family Hubs team have created virtual workshops to ensure families get the support they need.

As a team we’ve contacted over 10,000 people and every phone call is different – people have really coped and responded to the pandemic in amazing and inspiring ways.”
We normally bring you a feature that looks at a ‘Day in the Life’ of a council worker but since the Coronavirus crisis began, there hasn’t been a typical one - a ‘Day in the Life’ of a council worker is whatever is needed.
Many staff have been going above and beyond, often taking on new roles to help ensure we continue to be ambitious, effective and proud to serve. Here we take a look at a small selection of staff who have done just that.
