I qualified as a
Social Worker in 1988, as an ASW (Approved Social Worker) in 1990, and as a
Practice Teacher in 1992.
I am an
experienced practitioner in mental health services, both with service users of
working age, and with people over the age of 65, having been a specialist
social worker in the dementia services.
I have managed residential care settings for older people, and for older people with a diagnosis of dementia.
I continue to satisfy my interest in dementia care by working as a volunteer with the local Alzheimer’s Society in my home town of Luton.
Previously I worked in the Learning & Development Team at Luton Borough Council, commissioning and developing training courses for their employees, across adult and children’s services, both for qualified and unqualified staff within the social care setting.
I am a mentor and assessor on the Post Qualifying Award “Advance” PQ consortium.
I joined the University in May 2006 and have the lead on modules for mental health issues.
I am currently studying the Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education.
