Since joining Blossom House as Service Manager in May 2025, I’ve been proud to lead a team committed to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where children can thrive.
With over 14 years of experience in health and social care — including anthroposophic care and a strong background in teaching — I bring a blend of educational insight and hands-on experience to my leadership. My career has spanned both residential childcare and education, shaping a compassionate and practical approach to supporting young people and guiding my team.
At Blossom House, I’m dedicated to providing person-centred care that promotes independence, joy, and opportunity. I’m proud to lead a motivated and caring team whose work is recognised by Ofsted for its positive atmosphere, strong relationships, and the progress made by our young people.
What inspires me most is seeing children grow in confidence, recognise their own strengths, and feel truly valued — because at Swanton, Every Moment Matters.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve committed my career to supporting children, young people, and vulnerable adults. My background spans various sectors, including education, youth work, youth offending, and learning and physical disabilities. I’ve also worked within foster and residential care, as well as in social care inspection, regulation, registration, and enforcement.
Throughout my career, I’ve held numerous operational and management roles, along with senior leadership positions in the private sector, local government, and civil service. I am passionate about helping children and young people reach their full potential and take immense pride in fostering improvement and achieving positive outcomes.
Blossom House - Courtyard Care opened in October 2022.
