Sam Miles celebrated 12 months since she begin working as a clinic assistant in the relaxed, friendly surrounds of a Townsville day spa.
The 25-year-old ensures the busy First Things First day spa’s masseurs have clean freshly dried towels at their fingertips.
It is a far cry from the fish and chips shop where she had worked previously. Since starting at First Things First, Sam has quickly become a valued member of the team at First Things First.
“My job is to clean and dry towels, which I do in two dryers and two washing machines,” Miss Miles said. “I love this job, it is my dream come true.
“All the girls I work with are very nice. I think I will be here for a while.
“I like to play Bon Jovi and I can listen to them when I am at work – I am their biggest fan. I also like Michael Jackson.”
First Things First general manager Megan Flux said Miss Miles had come to them through STEPS Employment, and she didn’t know what they would do without her now.
“We went with STEPS because we get so much support from them,” Mrs Flux said. “They have people who will train and learn the job alongside the new employee.
“Sam does her job better than most and she takes ownership of her work.”
STEPS Employment Support Consultant for Miss Miles is Chrissey Sheriff who is as proud as a parent of her young trainee’s achievements.
“Same came to us nearly two years ago and her family had just come over from Perth,” Mrs Sheriff said. “She is a delightful young lady and we were very fortunate to get her a job at First Things First. She has fitted in there very well and the staff have embraced her.”
