It is great sadness that we announce the departure of Sue Snell from Devon in Sight at the end of the month.
Sue said, “I have been privileged to undertake the role of Mid Devon Volunteer Visiting Co-ordinator at Devon in Sight for over four years and have very much relished the challenges and the achievements of the service, but more importantly have loved the people I have met along the way, both those we strive to support who have a visual impairment and also those who give their time and talents voluntarily to enable the support.
For many of you I am simply the person who introduced you to the volunteer who visits you, but to some, I have been the person who you have generously shared something of your life story with, often intermingled with laughter and tears. I had big shoes to fill from my predecessor who saw through the pilot project and I am proud of how the service has developed, matured and grown”.
Sue is returning to teaching after a ten year break and we wish her every success in her new role as a Teaching Assistant in West Devon.
The recruitment process for Sue’s replacement has already started.
