I am a proactive and dedicated education, family and childcare specialist with extensive experience delivering excellent social support and child safeguarding provision. I fully recognise the importance of supporting people and families during times of crisis and have been a key person in creating new programmes using funding generated from community-driven campaigns. I am skilled in combining a sympathetic approach with intuition to ask pertinent questions and create a safe environment, to enable me to establish positive and trusting relationships, create family profiles and implement action plans. I am strong in a managerial role and skilled as a mentor and trainer, especially through apprenticeship programmes. I am currently a student at the University of East London studying for a BACP-accredited Degree in Counselling.
