My career in residential care began in 2011 as a RSW. While in this role, my knowledge of young people with complex behaviours grew and it was in this environment that I recognised my ability to inspire and empower young people to make a positive impact to their lives.
A large part of my role is to make special memories for the young people, particularly around milestones such as birthdays, Christmas and celebrating individual achievements.
Over the next five years I progressed through different roles until the opportunity to become a Registered Manager of a home presented itself. At this point my passion and desire continued to soar and I am proud of the positive changes that I have made to the young people’s lives.
My aim is to develop a like-minded staff team, that has the passion for supporting and empowering the young people with knowledge and experiences that they may not have had the opportunity to take part in previously.
