Q&A with Kate Bath

My favourite thing about working for Atlas is Jonathan’s and my colleagues’ drive to deliver incredibly beneficial therapies across the country. It feels amazing to work alongside colleagues who show such passion to improve the lives of those living with dementia, to be part of something that you can see making a difference, it’s the greatest job in the world and I’ve never felt happier in my career.

My favourite memory from my time so far at Atlas is when I overheard a group of members discussing how amazing it felt for them to attend the centre and how it made each of them feel like a respected human being in society, and to not be treated like someone with memory problems. They mentioned that for the few hours of the day they attended, they forgot about their diagnosis and just had fun, and went home happy, for me personally I don’t think there’s a sweeter memory, or higher credit to those I work with, than that.

I am privileged to work in a few of our hubs at atlas which means my typical day varies quite a bit, which I love. It often includes morning meetings to discuss any changes of clients, what the plan for the day is, what members I have in my sessions, logistics etc. We are also currently in the process of opening two additional centres one which i will manage so some of my time is spent preparing for the opening.
