I have been in the health and social care sector for the past 12 years. I started my career as a support worker for young people with a physical and/or learning disability supporting them transitioning to adulthood.

I was a qualified social worker for 6 and a half years working in both the adults and children’s services which I thoroughly enjoyed. Following Covid, I found a new passion in working with those with mental health and realised that the need for people with mental health support has grown exponentially since that time. I started with ISL in late 2022 as a support worker and since then I have progressed to a deputy manager and now further progressed as a service manager in the a new mental health supported living service, which I am loving already.

I  enjoy seeing on a daily basis the little things that help with individuals mental health and wellbeing through the support they receive from staff and acceptance in the local community.
