About

With over 12 years of experience supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, I am passionate about helping individuals overcome barriers and reach their full potential. I have worked extensively with school refusers, delivering tailored interventions to re-engage them with education. My background spans both educational and residential care settings, giving me a broad and adaptable skill set. I am also an experienced Exams Officer, skilled in coordinating and managing all aspects of the examination process with accuracy and care. Key skills include safeguarding and child protection, behaviour management, building strong professional relationships, and creating inclusive environments where young people feel supported and safe. I am confident, compassionate, and committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the young people I work with.
