How long have you worked at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Foundation?
I started my career in Northern Counties School 36 years ago.ÌýÌý
What has your journey been within the Foundation to get to where you are today?
I have had many roles and trained originally as a nursery nurse. I then joined the school as a Learning Support Assistant, moved into a Curriculum Support Tutor role and continued at Northern Counties for 18 years. I joined the College as a Life Skills Tutor andÌýprogressed to a Programme Manager. An opportunity came along to be an Assessment and Standards Manager which I acquired and successfully moved from teaching into a management role. From this role I arrived to where I am now which is Deputy Head of College.Ìý
What does an average day look like for you? Ìý
Not sure the words “average dayâ€� fits my role as no two days are the same! This is perhaps why I still love my job. ±õ³Ù’s the relationships, creativity and diversity of my role that can mean one day ±õ’m chairing a meeting, supporting staff, looking at quality and performance to delivering training and assessments.ÌýÌý
What’s your favourite part about your role?Ìý
Working with such a supportive team and of course seeing our staff and students thrive.Ìý
