I am the Assistant Manager at 76 Canute Road, where I work with a team of Support Workers providing daily care and activities in the best interests of our Service Users. I have been working at here since 2018, during this time I have created strong bonds with all of our Service Users.

I have been working with individuals with learning disabilities for 40 years and specifically I have 5 years’ experience of working with individuals with ASD. I started at Canute as a Support Worker and soon became a senior support worker overseeing my team and ensuring the smooth running of shifts day to day.

I enjoy making a positive difference to people’s lives and find my role very rewarding. I am passionate about working with individuals with challenging needs and supporting them to reach milestones and enjoy their life to the maximum. Here at 76 Canute Road we are committed to providing the highest level of support and the best care possible.

I am the Company’s Group Home Manager overseeing all of our specialist services.

I have been with the Company since 2002, and have been working with Adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and Mental Health for 24 years.

I am a qualified trainer and enjoy delivering person centred training wherever possible. In 2017, I worked alongside Gary Lavigna (Co-founder of the Institute of Applied Behaviour Analysis) and completed my Applied Behaviour Analysis and Assessment. In addition to this I also completed the Analysis of Severe and Challenging Behaviour. In February 2018, I completed a Positive and Proactive Care Managers Programme which enabled the company to review our current Positive Behaviour Support Focus. I have also recently completed the British Institute of Learning Disabilities Positive Behaviour Support Coaching programme in May 2018.

I enjoy a very close working relationship with the Partners and work with them on a day-to-day basis to offer the best level of care possible. I really enjoy seeing our Service Users reach their full potential and am passionate about assisting them to achieve their goals.
