I am a hard-working, passionate individual with 19+ years’ experience working with young people. My personal experience stemmed with previous work experience had enabled me then, to build the foundation of Adecyn Homes. The running of the homes is by no means a straight forward task, it involves a number of challenges. I am responsible for liaising with the Homes RI, Operations Manager and Registered Managers on a regular basis to ensure the smooth running of the home. Together, myself and the RI will check the relevant paperwork and documents for the homes, updating them as and when required. I also work collaboratively with the relevant external agencies such as Ofsted, police, schools, our psychologist/advocate, social workers etc. again, ensuring the effective maintenance of the homes. I also get involved with the recruitment process for the home. I aim to make sure that the staff that are recruited are experienced and knowledgeable, ensuring that they can work effectively with the young people. When staff have been recruited, I make sure that they undertake the mandatory training that is required to work in a residential children’s home. In terms of training, I am a qualified MAPA (Management of Actual or Potential Aggression) trainer; I train newly recruited staff and provide refresher courses as and when required. My aim for the homes as a Director has always been to make sure the welfare of the young people and staff are paramount. I continue to look for ways where I can improve and develop skills to enhance the homes.

I have had a successful 19 years of experience within foster care, emphasising how the values gained within this sector have been the catalyst to building Adecyn Homes. My experience in getting into foster care stemmed from my own personal experience. I have always had the passion to help young people, so being a foster carer has been very rewarding. I have taken on several young people into my own care, helping them develop skills so they are able to confidently transition into independence. The young people that come into our care are given a routine to follow, which I believe will help them structure their day effectively. If necessary, I also make sure that they are put into a local school, and always encourage education to be part of their daily routine. I also make sure that they are taught independent skills such as; cooking, cleaning, independent shopping, travelling alone etc. I liaise with the relevant external agencies, informing the young peoples' social worker, and my social worker of information about the young people in my care. As well as finding a school for the young people, I have the responsibility of registering them to the local GP, opticians etc. We also encourage a healthy lifestyle for the young people, so dependent on age, we do encourage the young people to register at our local gym. I very much enjoy being a foster carer as I love helping young people achieve to their full potential, and will continue to be involved within the foster care sector.

In the year of 1997, I successfully became a finance and administration manager for Hays PLC, with IKEA being one of our valued clients. I had gained a number of skills during my experience which I had taken along with me into building the foundation of Adecyn Homes and successfully becoming a Managing Director. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as it was very challenging and helped me gain a lot. Some of my day to day duties included: Administration and coordination of depos for the flow of paperEstablishing financial control on sites (IKEA had a total of 12)Preparing budgets and cost analysisMonthly reporting on contractsStock loss analysis, and much more.
