As a workplace representative, I support Unison members in my workplace to access information and support. I have helped to organize events promoting issues affecting unison members. I have also brought members concerns forward to the management team.

As a Child Care Officer, I support children and young people with a variety of specialized needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis, challenging behaviors and physical difficulties and disabilities. My role focuses on supporting the indivduals in their day to day life and their ongoing long term development. I also support the development of care plans to enable our clients to make the most of their individual strengths while helping them to work through the challenges they face. I work under the philosophy of Client Centered Practice and Unconditional Positive Regard. I keep a focus on seeing the children and Young People I work with as multi-faceted individuals with multiple needs and preferences. As a Key Worker, it has been my duty to prepare review documentation, care plans and challenging behavior response guidelines in order to best meet my key child's needs and to support him in his ongoing development.

In 2012 I created the community based youtube channel 'The Positive Mind Project'. Since then, I have spearheaded PMP's content development, focusing on supporting individuals facing mental and emotional health difficulties through the provision of information, contacts and personal stories.

Alongside caring for the Campers that stayed in my cabin, I planned and carried out Arts and Crafts sessions for all camp campers. This meant adapting lesson plans to ensure all specialist needs are met and that all communication methods are taken into account.
