I joined St. John’s in 2018 have undertaken various roles within the Care Department such as Lead Residential Support Worker, Team Leader, and Deputy Care Manager. Since February 2021, I have been the Care Manager of College View and Preston Drove, two 52-week residential provisions in Brighton which are part of the post-19 service.

I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Lead Adult Care, as well as a BSc in Psychology, and am currently studying for my Level 5 Diploma in Leader in Adult Care.

I’m extremely lucky to be able to work closely with a team of Care Managers who take responsibility for other St. John’s houses across Brighton and Seaford. My primary focus in the houses I manage is to support our young people to be as independent as possible, developing their daily living skills, social skills and communication skills. I am passionate about providing highly person-centred care and am constantly seeking new ways to promote and provide opportunities for our young people, particularly in regards to community access and involvement.

I joined St. John's Dec 2021, and have pleasure of working alongside some very dedicated care managers. I have managed many services in Brighton & Hove, East and West Sussex for adults with many abilities for over 25 years.

I have most recently worked in children's services, but have come back to the role I enjoy most. I have a Level 4 Registered Managers award and Level 5 Managing residential children's services. My aim is for the best possible service for the people I support, to enrich the lives of the learners and enable them to reach their potential - whatever that means for them.

I am looking forward to managing Ashington Gardens and Telsco​mbe Road teams in helping the learners to have a positive experience, develop daily living skills, communication and have fun where they live.
