Learning disabilities
I joined Courtyard Care in April 2023 as a Deputy Manager and progressed into the role of Registered Manager. I hold a Master’s degree in Disability Studies as well as a Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.
I have worked in children’s residential care for over 10 years, supporting young people with learning disabilities as well as those living in EBD and trauma-informed homes. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where the boys at Rowan House feel at home and can thrive.
I also enjoy building and developing strong teams, supporting colleagues to grow in confidence and progress in their own careers within care.
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.
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.
