Our Programs

 I am an experienced and accomplished business leader with over 25 years in the UK social care sector, specialising in services for individuals with autism and learning disabilities. In 2001, driven by a deep commitment to person-centered, compassionate support, I founded Partnership of Care—a highly regarded care organisation which I successfully led until its sale in November 2023.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a strong ability to lead and transform care services, with a focus on improving the lives of vulnerable individuals. I bring in-depth knowledge of social care systems, regulatory frameworks, behavioural support models, and the effective integration of health and social care services. My leadership approach is strategic and collaborative-rooted in sound resource management and strong partnerships with local authorities, health professionals, and community organisations.

Training and development have always been a passion of mine. I believe in empowering others through knowledge-sharing and have actively provided training in key areas such as Positive Behaviour Support and autism, helping to build skilled, compassionate teams.

As the founder of Partnership of Care, I was involved in all aspects of the organisation—from strategic planning and operational oversight to staff recruitment, training, and the development of personalised care services. I also designed and facilitated crisis management workshops, mentored staff, and worked closely with multidisciplinary teams to develop effective, person-focused support plans.
