Biography

Along with being a registered mental health nurse, I have a diploma in management, a BSc (Hons) Health & Social Care and I’m currently studying for an Executive MBA in Health Service Management. Working with people is the single most enjoyable part of my job, whether it’s with service users, colleagues or external people such as commissioners, clinicians and care managers. I like listening to what others have to say and looking at whether there is anything we can do to help them in their individual situation or with particular problems. My role is a mix of commercial, clinical and operational issues which makes every day extremely interesting and satisfying. I like the philosophy of Lighthouse as a company as it puts service users and their needs first above anything else. As we are only a small organisation, the directors have an intimate working knowledge of the services, the people who work in them and the people who use them. It is down to this that we are able to respond to any issues quickly and appropriately.
