| I have twelve years experience working in not-for-profit and charity
organisations with more than five at management level. I'm a psychology
graduate with NVQ Level 4 management training and a student member of
the Chartered Management Institute. I started out in 1995 as a volunteer befriender to a young man recovering from a head injury then as a personal carer with frail elderly people at Havelok Homes. I discovered that I like working with people and helping to improve their lives. HICA Care Homes later asked me to develop their therapeutic activities and social care for older people with dementia. Since 1999 I have worked exclusively in mental health and vocational rehabilitation with Hillingdon Mind, the Richmond Fellowship (RF) and now as Director of Enfield Clubhouse. I have also given my time and expertise to advise anti-workplace bullying group Just Fight On! with their fundraising strategy. I enjoy spending time with with my wife Julianne in our new home, as well as swimming, walking, cycling and holidays in Greece. I'm an enthusiastic cook, armchair Manchester United supporter, computer geek, photographer and guitar player/vocalist. I live in London. |
