Currently working as Professional Head of Social Work at Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust, I have been a registered Social Worker since 2000, previously working in a range of unqualified roles in Social Care in assessment and provider settings. I have worked in various front line, operational and project management roles, within both generic and specialist practice, in a number of different local authorities. Currently I'm a member of The College of Social Work’s Adult Faculty and the national Adults' Principal Social Worker network.
