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.
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.
At Lucerne House - Courtyard Care, 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.
