Summary

Compassionate and committed Psychology graduate currently completing the TQUK Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare. I have hands-on experience working with children and young people, including those with special educational needs, and am passionate about creating safe, supportive environments where they can thrive. I’m now seeking a full-time care or support role to gain the experience required to progress into a management position within the next 6 months. I bring empathy, resilience, and a calm, proactive approach to every situation, with a strong ability to connect with those in my care.
