I have over 20 years’ experience working within the private and third sector, and been with Business in the Community for 12 years. I has vast experience within Economic and Business Development and Business to Business sales. Having recently taken on a Northern Ireland wide role as the Employability Manager for BITC. Overseeing Business in the Community's Employability Initiatives. A big part of my role is to identify other stakeholders and strategic partners to work collaboratively on new innovative ways on which to impact on unemployment creating a more socially included society. More recently, in partnership with First Housing secured just under half a million pounds of Big Lottery funding to deliver the #workitout programme. The North West Employers’ Forum Board has been a key factor in the success of Business in the Community's employability programmes. I managed the Employers Forum Board which has 18 committed members such as: Seagate, Allstate, INVISTA, Precision Group, Firstsource, DuPont, NuPrint and Apex Housing. My role is to develop and implement unique approaches to support the businesses to assist those furthest removed from the workplace into employment, helping to open up new recruitment pipelines. Alongside, my above role, I managed eight Business in the Community's key account member companies. All committed to the responsible business agenda. My role role was to ensure these responsible companies impacted on education, economic development, community engagement and environmental issues. Through engaging their workforce to engage in initiatives that make a difference in their own communities. Extremely passionate about what this agenda and strengths lie in engaging businesses to create positive outcomes and identifying opportunities.
