Deeqa Warsame, College Receptionist, Security Services

“I’m a receptionist based at the Hammersmith Campus, which is a fascinating but very busy place to work.

I deal with a lot external visitors for meetings and appointments with our top clinicians and academics and also crucial deliveries of medical supplies and research equipment. It’s great to know I’m working in a place that makes a difference to patients’ lives.”

Deeqa was one of eleven members of staff to recently graduate from the Calibre Leadership Programme – a specially designed initiative to address the specific challenges faced by disabled staff working in higher education that can put them at a disadvantage from their peers.
