I hold a Diploma in European Humanities, and two level 5 Diplomas in Leadership and Management, and Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care.
Following 20 years in the Prison Service, where I worked as a Governor in some of the toughest establishments in the UK, I have worked in Social care for over 10 years at Home Manager level and above.
I have managed Multi-Sites, turnaround projects, commissioned new, luxury homes, and Retirement Villages with a Domiciliary Care Agency.
I used to be a real stress head, working in highly volatile environments tends to do that! However, about 6 years ago I came across a new psychology, a new way of experiencing reality and the world around me and nothing has been the same since.
I love travel and adventure and have walked 250km of the Camino Frances, an ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela with my teenage son. A truly memorable and life-changing experience. I am a black belt in mixed martial arts, but prefer reason as a means to overcome differences!
