Complex needs
I have been working with children for over 6 years in various settings, including 3 years as a manager in a nursery provision. During my time with Swanton and Courtyard Care, I started as a deputy and worked my way up to a manager's position.
I'm incredibly passionate about working with children with learning disabilities and take great joy in seeing them progress and develop. I'm committed to developing staff to create a positive environment where young people can thrive, while ensuring they are effectively safeguarded and given every opportunity to reach their full potential.
I joined Courtyard Care in October 2025 after more than 20 years in health and social care, progressing into management and leadership roles. Most of my experience has been within services for young people with complex needs, including learning disabilities and autism.
I hold qualifications in care, management, and therapeutic approaches, and I’m passionate about making a positive difference to young people’s lives — while having fun and celebrating great outcomes along the way.
It’s a privilege to work alongside residential teams, families, and professionals to help young people achieve their potential. I look forward to supporting managers in their professional development and continuing to create positive memories for every young person we support.
At Lucerne House each of our young people have their own personalised bedrooms, a large communal area, a games room, and an activity and sensory room offering a large space with a vast range of sensory toys, along with a large garden with a climbing frame, birds nest swing, trampoline and sandpit.
We support our young people to access education through an SEN school, allowing them to have a voice, encouraging and empowering them, alongside increasing their independence skills and life skills for later in their adult life.
We work alongside many health care professionals, where we promote and encourage positive relationships with families to meet the children’s needs and ensure they are receiving the best quality care. Alongside this our team members are experienced and have gained a lot of experience and knowledge through regular training and support from both internal and external agencies.
