After graduating from Anglia Ruskin University in 2005, I have worked in the education sector both as a teacher and manager. I have experience teaching both children and adults in the UK, Spain and China. The social nature of this work led me to working within care settings and I have worked at the Sheiling since 2018, primarily as a Senior Support Worker in one of our residential college houses before moving into the Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner role. I enjoy my work and strongly believe in the benefits of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). I have seen the difference that it can make both in the lives of our students and the people close to them, especially when combined with the sense of community, motivated staff and wonderful therapeutic environment that we have here at the Sheiling.
