About Carer

I’m a positive and enthusiastic carer with over 21 years of experience supporting adults with learning disabilities in both education and care settings. My approach focuses on person-centred care that helps people stay as active, happy and socially engaged as possible.

I’m also a strong believer in the benefits of exercise and the outdoors for physical and mental wellbeing. This means I always aim to work with clients to support them in ways that feel right for their individual needs and goals, whether that’s getting out for a walk, maintaining daily routines, or simply enjoying good company. I always try to bring warmth and genuine care to everything I do with my clients.

Carer Interests

Outside of caring, I'm a keen hiker. I love exploring the Lake District, Scotland and Northumberland. I also enjoy camping, cycling, using the gym, and supporting Newcastle United. Most importantly, I treasure spending time with my wife and two young children.
