I have over 25 years’ of experience in health and social care, working with a diverse range of client groups in leadership roles. I have supported children in care, young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and adults with ill mental health, who are being treated in hospital, I have worked with Adults with Learning disabilities and complex needs. I was part of the transforming care program, where worked at Fulbourn Hospital and supported adults who had been institutionalised transition into the community. I have excellent communication skills, which I use with the people we support, with my support team, and with wider professionals and families. My main focus is to support people to achieve and reach their full potential. I am solution focused and can lead the team to think outside the box. I am dedicated to my role and ensuring that the staff are supported to deliver the highest standard of person-centered support and ensure service users feel safe and secure in their homes and the community in which they live. This is achieved through fostering community links. Staff training, supervision, team meetings, mentoring and guidance from the Senior Management Team Management Leaders and I. I believe that every achievement, no matter how small needs to be recognised and celebrated.

Interests: I’m an avid reader and have been an active member of a local book club for some time now. I love music and going to concerts. Now that I have a puppy, walking in the countryside is my new found passion. I also like days out locally with family and friends, they are always fun and where time permits, further afield, Cornwall is one of my favourite places to holiday.
