Our people
Sussex Oakleaf is proud of its people. Our staff and our board work hard to ensure that the organisation listens and learns. We listen and learn from each other and we listen and learn from our service users. People come to work for Sussex Oakleaf from such a wide variety of backgrounds. It all goes towards making our people a diverse and rich team which we value. There is one thing in common which connects all of the staff and board members in Sussex Oakleaf and that is our mission which is ‘to help people survive crisis and recover control in their lives.’ We all contribute something to make this happen.
