I joined Values in Care in January 2022 as a Registered Manager at Prince Llewellyn Farm and 78 & 80 Westwood Drive. My experience of managing homes, ranges across community care, supported living and complex needs day services. I have joined both existing teams and had the opportunity to create and manage new homes.
I enjoy creating opportunities for people with autism and learning disabilities, empowering them to develop their skills, thus creating a sense of achievement and personal development. I am passionate about leading and developing my teams to their full potential, encouraging their growth and professional development, which in turn provides high quality person centred support.
I began working in Social Care sector since January 1996, this was soon after I finished my degree in BSc Behavioural sciences. I commenced employment as a support worker with a not-for-profit organisation working with adults with learning disabilities. This was during the time when Ely hospital in South Wales was in the process transitioning people from hospital to resettle in the community into supported living accommodation.
I continued my employment with the organisation, developing in my career with various roles across the organisation, working with different models of support including supported living, respite, community support and residential manager roles.
I have worked in senior management roles for the last 15 years mainly in operations and quality assurance. I have been a Registered Manager since 2014 with two providers in the last 27 years.
I am a trainer and been the organisational lead for person centred practise, ensuring that people supported live lives to their full potential and are encouraged to have greater choice and control. I feel passionate that people are at the forefront of their own support provision ensuring that the quality-of-service provision is exceptional.
I have recently joined Swanton Care, Values in Care as the Regional Director in August 2023 and look forward to working within this organisation to continue my career development supporting people and staff to reach their goals and aspirations.
