About me

I am fair and encourage people to develop and take responsibility. I like to work with a strong team and expect people to be honest and respectful, and tell me when they are struggling as this can always be resolved quickly - communication is key.

I support the team closely whilst still enabling them to work independently, leading to high morale. I work to improve the lives of the people we support by ensuring that they go one step further in their lives.

I have a good sense of humour and am a positive person. I like new ideas, and coming up with new ways of doing things. I do not like negativity or the process of stacking problems when they can be addressed separately and resolved. I encourage new ideas and problem solving from my team.
