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.
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.
