A NURSERY nurse has become the 1,000th resident to find employment through a community scheme.

Donna Buttery secured her job at the Priory Day Nursery, in Grangetown, through Job Connect, the Single Regeneration-funded project for Grangetown and South Bank.

Ms Buttery, of South Bank, was recruited by Yvonne Cook, who after opening the nursery earlier this year, approached Job Connect for help with staffing.

She said: "I'm thrilled with the job. I was really grateful for the help and advice given by Job Connect.
