Learning disabilities
I started my career in the care sector in 2011 as a personal assistant, supporting an individual with Autism and server learning difficulties and in 2020 I joined Swanton Care as a bank support worker whilst continuing work as a Teaching assistant & DT Technician in a local school.
Working my way through Senior Support Worker and Team Leader, in 2023 I was promoted to the Service Manager for the Barnsley homes.
I have proven track record of being able to adapt to the changing management teams, styles, and technology and have shown resilience whilst adapting to these changes. throughout these times I have proven that the people we support, and the staff team are my paramount priority.
My aspirations wholeheartedly sit with the focus of driving our services into the future by delivering outstanding commitment to the people we support.
My personal values align with the Swanton Care Ethos which is to lead the team to reach their full potential in their role which provides high-quality, person-centred support for the people we are enabling.

I started my career in 2003 as a bank support worker and I have worked hard to progress. I was promoted within a year to a Team Leader, then a Registered Manager. I make it my mission to ensure that every person has a voice and a person-centred plan in place.
I joined Swanton Care as a Registered Manager in 2019 and I was delighted in 2022 to be promoted to the Regional Operations Director for the Central and Yorkshire Region.
It’s my passion to ensure that I provide the guidance to my teams to enable them to care for people we support at an outstanding level. I am committed to making a difference to the lives of the people we support and my team whilst being present in each area of my region, making the time to visit each home as much as possible.
