I feel privileged to have supported people for over 19 years within their own homes, care homes or within residential services. I have enjoyed working with people of all ages and people that have autism, learning disabilities, mental health challenges, physical disabilities and social emotional and behavioural challenges

I have worked for small and large care providers both in the charity sector and private sector. This experience has helped me gain the skills required to provide high quality responsive and personalised care services and to ensure creative and professional management service within the organisation that I have worked with.  The roles I have held are: support worker, behaviour advisor, home manager, regional learning manager, locality manager and senior manager.    

I have a BSc (honours) degree in Health & Social Care, a professional management certificate, SVQ 4 in Health & Social Care, SVQ 4 in Learning & Development and a SVQ 3 in care. These qualifications have been gained throughout my career and I would like to continue this, maybe complete a MBA at some point!

I am married with one son aged 12 years, I enjoy spending time with my family and running with my dog Casie, a yellow Labrador.
