Strong focus on development of community services, intermediate care modelling and promoting inclusive, dementia friendly communities through engagement. With an evidence of Continuous Professional Development in Social Work, Leading Complex Change/ Complex Adaptive Systems, Commissioning community based services, Counselling and project management.Having held leadership and management roles in Community based Social Work; Health & Social Care; Global Finance; data management; IT and third sector - I have led and been involved in delivering transformative change and creating opportunity across specialist and complex systems with a life-long evidence of high performance standards and high quality. With global issues hitting those most vulnerable to societal inequalities hardest and at pace across multiple PESTLE factors then maintaining resilience and momentum will take adaptive policies; interconnected public responses with strategic planning and a culture of trust and confidence in leadership to allow progress to take place - irrespective of the situation.I have over 35 years of experience working in unforgiving Global, national and local contexts and have a consistent track record of achieving high standards and results by delivering on immediate priorities and challenges in a way that strengthens a strategic direction. Working closely with stakeholders and partners I achieve best through creating, joining or strengthening a co-productive, whole system thinking approach to change and improvement. I have belief and hope that public sector ambitions and budgets can be delivered more sustainably through collaboration and participation that meaningfully involves communities: Shifting policy and practise from bureaucratic to alliance thinking.
