Meet the Team

I joined Melton Mencap in 2024 as Service Manager and became the Registered Manager in September 2025. With more than 36 years of experience supporting children and adults with diverse and complex needs, I have dedicated my career to delivering high‑quality, person‑centred care. I have been a Registered Manager for three organisations over 20 years, achieving multiple Good CQC ratings and an Outstanding rating in 2020, proudly maintained in 2022. I look forward to achieving the same level of excellence at Melton Mencap, where the commitment and enthusiasm of the team make this entirely possible. I am passionate about ensuring that vulnerable people have access to meaningful opportunities and are supported with respect, compassion, and safety.

Away from work, I cherish time with my family and friends, travelling and celebrating life together at every opportunity.

Joining Melton Mencap in 2007 after beginning my career in education. I have had many roles within the organisation and have been in my role as Deputy Manager for 10 years.

I am passionate about supporting our clients and members in living their best lives. I am proud to be part of a committed team making a meaningful difference in every day.

Outside of work I enjoy living life to its fullest, making memories with family & friends, visiting new places and making the most of every day.

I joined the team at Melton Mencap in 2022. It is a privilege to be part of such a supportive community.

When I’m away from work I love staying active and making the most of the outdoors with my family. You’ll often find me at a local parkrun on Saturday mornings, at the gym, or exploring new walking trails. I also have a passion for all things vintage, baking and crafts.

I joined the Melton Mencap workforce in 1995 as Gateway Club and Summer Scheme Assistant Leader. Over that time, I am pleased to have seen a dramatic increase in our young people and adults having positive opportunities to become an integrated part of the local community.
My interests are gardening, cooking, visiting historic sites, especially Roman. I enjoy music, going on holiday, theatre, museum and art gallery visits. I love my birth county of Suffolk and spending time with my family and friends.

I have worked in many roles at Mencap over the last 20 years but currently lead two groups for Day Services, Cookery and Music and Drama. Both of which I thoroughly enjoy. Working with the amazing people we support.

When I am not working, I love spending time with my family and friends, volunteering with Girlguiding and I have recently discovered golf!

Since joining the Melton Mencap team in 2010, it has been an absolute privilege and joy to meet and support our wonderful clients. Outside of work, I am a creative at heart who loves sewing and design. I’m also a keen swimmer and a devoted family person who treasures time with family.

I have been working for Melton Mencap for over 20 years. The Mencap community, its members, families, and the support we provide to them are a huge passion of mine.

In my spare time I love spending time with my lovely husband and children. I have much experience and a keen interest in Performing Arts and anything theatrical and musical. I also love to experiment with cooking and baking.

I am the Leader for the After School Club, Saturday Youth Group and Youth Summer Scheme.

I enjoy going to Yorkshire to spend time with my family, I like cricket, football, gardening and cooking. I also like visiting different places.
