Sophie Whinnery

I am a dedicated and motivated professional with experience in violence prevention, effective de-escalation, and clear, respectful communication. Through my roles as a prison officer, vocational tutor within a custodial setting, and student nurse, I have developed a calm and proactive approach to working in challenging and diverse environments. I consistently act as a positive role model, demonstrating professionalism, integrity, and respect in my interactions with others.

I am skilled in maintaining clear professional boundaries at all times, understanding their importance in promoting safety, trust, and ethical practice. I demonstrate patience, resilience, and strong listening skills, which enable me to build appropriate working relationships while remaining objective and accountable. I am confident in classroom management and public speaking with varied populations and have a developing understanding of legal rights, professional responsibilities, and the need for proportionate, appropriate interventions.

I work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, adapting to different roles and responsibilities as required. I am committed to promoting safety, rehabilitation, and wellbeing through constructive engagement, reflective practice, and collaborative working.
