10 years ago today, Managing Director of Chesterfield based One to One Support Services, Melanie Ulyatt MBE established the company from an office in the spare room of her home.
Drawing on her expert insight and experiences gained through a successful career in Health and Social care and Education services, her company is widely considered an organizational model within the care sector, delivering an excellent track record of supporting local authorities, schools, regional and national charities by providing high quality specialist services in the areas of sensory communication, supporting individuals with complex needs and disability, childcare and care for older people.
Today, One to One Support Services holds the illustrious Investors in People Gold Award, an honor reserved for organisations with exceptional standards of management, best practice and innovative employee development programmed. The IIP Gold was first awarded in 2012 and successfully retained in September 2015.
On Monday 25th January 2016, the team met to celebrate 10 years in business with cake and buns at our Head Office for the last major celebration of this kind before we relocate operations to our new site, a charming former hotel, Devonshire House, located just a short drive away in Holmewood, Chesterfield.
An evening of celebration, dining at the fabulous Hassop Hall is to follow for the Senior and Management (SAMS) Team and a summer party is currently being organised for the entire team and their families, colleagues, partners and friends of the organisation.

I feel the session was very informative, a lot of personal examples were used which I feel helps you remember.
I have learned a lot more about CVs and preparing yourself for interviews. It has been interesting to learn how to fill in application forms properly as well and how to answer questions in the correct manner when asked. (Level 1 Employability Qualification)
