Challenging behaviour
Autism
Learning disabilities
I have worked within health and social care for the past 27 years. Working with adults and children with learning disabilities, autism, complex health needs, mental health and learning difficulties, I started as a support worker gradually working my way through to management level. This has helped me gain the skills and knowledge to provide a positive and supportive environment for both the people we support and our staff.
I pride myself in delivering a person-centred approach, empowering the people we support to live their lives to the fullest and achieve their goals no matter how big or small.
I joined Swanton Care in 2023 as Deputy Manager and am now the Service Manager for supported living and community support who assist 20 individuals over Lancashire.
I am highly motivated to lead my team to provide a person-centred approach, always ensuring the people we support are at the forefront of all that we do, making sure that ‘Every Moment Matters!’
I joined Swanton in 2018 as Regional Director for South Wales to grow and develop our Ethos across the services, since then I have had the opportunity to become a divisional director for Central England during 2024. Working in a company that places quality, openness, empathy, and integrity above all else has been inspirational. Leading the Region to grow in developing these skills has been an exciting journey.
Having worked within social care for over 25 years, following growing up in a home for people with learning disabilities, its fair to say that Social Care is a part of who I am. ‘Every Moment Matters’ with the people we support, and the support team are at the heart of everything we do.
My social care career journey from Support Worker/Team Leader/ Registered Manager/ Regional Director/Project Director and now Divisional Director ensures I understand that the role of support can be the most challenging yet rewarding of all roles. I trust that I am in a position to make a difference and help all that joins us have a positive experience.
