What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead multi-agency safeguarding and service development, support children’s learning, mentor staff, and improve family wellbeing in a collaborative, child-focused organisation.

I am a friendly, self-assured Postgraduate Early Years Teacher and Family Consultant with ten years in the education sector delivering high-quality services to families and children. I have extensive experience across key stages through supply teaching, lecturing, and leading multi-agency collaboration with responsibilities including safeguarding, budget management and service development.

I have led teams of tutors and assistants, managed breakfast and after-school provision, designed and facilitated workshops, and improved children’s learning outcomes while supporting parents' work prospects and wellbeing. My strengths include policy development, risk management, paediatric first aid, and a proven track record in enhancing services, managing complaints, and implementing safeguarding leadership.
