I started my career in Care as a Support Worker 12 years ago. Gradually working my way through to Deputy Manager and now Registered Manager.
I have been supported to develop myself with various qualifications, such as my Level 2 and Level 3 Diplomas in Health and Social Care, Level 2 Principles of Team Leading and I am currently working towards NVQ level 5 in Leadership and Management.
I work in close partnership with my team, as well as internal and external professionals, to ensure the people we support are receiving high quality person-centred care. Along with achieving their personal goals, they are given the opportunity to have fun and enjoy their activities.
I bring over 15 years of experience in the social care sector, having started my career as a support worker in 2009. Over the years, I have held various leadership roles, which have given me a deep understanding of both the challenges and rewards of delivering high-quality care.
I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with technology companies to develop assistive technologies, and most recently, I served as a Strategic Leader overseeing 130 services across residential, respite, domiciliary, and ISL provisions. My dedication to ensuring that care is personalised and tailored to each individual’s unique needs is central to my work, and I firmly believe that every voice matters and deserves to be heard.

The people we support at Tynedale – Swanton Care, have person-centred support plans in place which have been implemented by the support team, families, and other agencies, to ensure they are reaching their full potential and achieving their goals. The people we support complete fun activities and join in with events that are run across the company as well as within their home and region.
We encourage the people we support to make use of our gardens, enjoy the outdoor space and in turn help with their mental health and wellbeing.
