During my 11 years with Corrections and SERCO I have developed important relationships with staff, management and external agencies. I maintain strong personal values concerning integrity, honesty, respect for others, professionalism, teamwork, consistent standards and sharing leadership.Others consider me to be widely trusted, direct and honest, presenting truth in an open and helpful manner. I am highly motivated and enthusiastic, maintaining high personal and professional standards. I take personal responsibility for my own actions and keep confidences with others. I currently line manage a combined team of 22 staff and ensure that our end of the business meets its responsibility to the business, the contract and KPI targets. I demonstrate strong leadership skills in planning, management, and in the coordination of activities and resources to meet operational requirements and deadlines. I seek and share information, inviting and learning from feedback received from others. I believe that teamwork is essential for the achievement of positive outcomes. I am frequently involved in highly functional teams and actively support and encourage team involvement. This has been demonstrated in my effective contribution to team meetings, team decision making and knowledge sharing.My approach to work is professional and is reflected in my standard of behaviour towards others. I encourage, guide and assist all members in my team and value the contributions of individuals in the workplace. I bring with me a long history of management experience both within and outside the corrections environment and feel that I contribute to ensuring that our business continues to grow and deliver a high standard of service to our stakeholders.
