I joined Courtyard Care in December 2023 as the Home Manager for Little Oaks, a residential home for up to five young people with Learning Disabilities and Autism. With over 15 years of experience in Children’s Residential Care, I have worked my way from Support Worker to Team Leader, then Deputy Manager, before becoming a Registered Manager.
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management and am currently studying for a Childhood and Youth Studies Degree. I am passionate about creating a nurturing, child-centred environment where the voice of each young person is heard and valued. My focus is on fostering progression and development, ensuring that the children and young people we support can thrive and transition smoothly into adulthood.
At Little Oaks, I am committed to leading a dedicated, high-quality team that provides a fun, safe, and secure home where young people can build positive experiences and a strong foundation for their future.
I’m delighted to join Courtyard Care as Regional Director for the South, bringing over 20 years’ experience across respite care, children’s end‑of‑life care, complex behaviours and learning disabilities. I’ve held senior leadership roles managing children’s homes and overseeing multiple services, always with a strong focus on quality and positive outcomes. As a Registered Manager, I was proud to achieve an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating.
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Children’s Care and a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management, alongside several years’ experience as a trainer in behaviour management and therapeutic approaches. In my role as Regional Director, I’m committed to championing best practice, compliance and values‑led teams, ensuring every child and young person has the opportunity to thrive.
