I lead the organisation to deliver high quality residential services for children and young people. My main responsibilities are to oversee all operations including Care Quality, Risk Management, Financial Management, Strategy, Workforce Development, and Policy Implementation. In addition, I also form strong and sustainable relationships with placing authorities as well as continuously evaluate the effectiveness of our service.

As Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, my role is to oversee all the operations of the charity and ensure effective governance.Our focus is to support children and families with life-limiting conditions, in particular, those who have frequent admissions into hospital. The Harley Jae Trust provides support through providing equipment to Nottingham's Pediatric Critical Care Unit. This equipment can range from life-saving saturation monitors to toys for the children and hampers for the parents. The long term goal for the charity is to provide services for children who are well enough to leave the hospital but not quite well enough to go back to the home environment. The Harley Jae Trust is committed to making sure that awareness is raised around these issues and that we promote community involvement in making sure that children with life-limiting and life-changing conditions are supported as much as possible.

To promote the charity and recruit clients join our Enterprise program which supports young people to start their own business. I am responsible for inter-agency working and building and maintaining positive relationships with referring agencies. I am responsible for being the face of the Princes Trust brand and representing the charity in a positive and professional manner. Most importantly, I am responsible for inspiring our young service users to join our Enterprise program and take their first steps into starting their own business.Keys skills: Promoting Career Development, Presentation Skills, Building Relationships, Planning, Communication, Recruitment

I helped to start the charities housing department back in 2009 and after we secured funding from Crisis UK, I lead a new initiative which aimed to get homeless young people into private accommodation due to a lack of social housing in the area. During my time at the organisation I accrued masses of experience of working with young people with a whole range of vulnerabilities including mental health, drug and alcohol misuse, homelessness, emotional problems, family issues and many many more. This is where I learnt how to manage multiple projects and develop programs which aimed for positive outcomes whilst keeping equality, diversity, confidentiality and young peoples rights in mind.Key skills: Safeguarding, Homelessness, Substance Misuse, Mental Health, Counselling, Street Outreach, Emotional First Aid, Benefits
