Learning disabilities
I joined Swanton in January 2023 as the registered manager of Rowan House. I began my journey as a support worker in 2016 and progressed to manager in 2018 working with children with learning disabilities and emotional behavioural difficulties.
My passion is seeing people develop and achieving their personal bests and I believe it is important to ensure our children are achieving their personal bests. I pride myself in ensuring my staff team have strong development, to ensure we are providing the highest quality of care for children and young people to enable this.
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.
Rowan house is a brand new 6 bedded children’s home in Studley, which will provide support for children with a learning disability and/ or physical disability.
The home has two lounge spaces including a nook area, dining room, a large activity room, a spacious garden, a sensory room and a reading/ computer area for children who might enjoy relaxing on their own.
Bedrooms will be personalised and decorated with the children’s choices and their input being sought upon admission.
Our aims and purpose at Rowan House are to provide a safe, warm, and nurturing environment with a high standard of accommodation and care for children and young people.
