ABOUT US

__

I have a wide and varied range of experience in supporting individuals with additional support needs including both learning and physical disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, mental health conditions, acquired brain injuries and dementia and through this experience I recognise that everyone is unique and everyone is different therefore every support package that I offer is  unique, different and personalised in order to meet the specific needs and requirements of the individual.

My name is Claire and I am 40 plus (??!!) years old, I have been married to Mark for the past 13 years and I am a mum to Poppy and Ruby who each have 4 legs, wet noses and wagging tails! I am the youngest of three siblings and was born and raised in Scunthorpe, which is where I still live today. I am a very caring and empathic person who understands that by going the extra mile you can make a lot of difference to someone’s day. My dad had a physical disability, and this has helped me from a very early age to appreciate that everyone is different, and that there are a lot of challenges and prejudices from society, but with strong will and determination these can be overcome. It is my ambition that by creating… that I am able to support people to overcome the challenges that they face in everyday life in order for them to grow, achieve and remain independent for as long as possible.

I have worked in the Social Care sector since 2003 in a variety of exciting and challenging roles including; as Registered Manager of several supported living properties in North East Lincolnshire for a well-known and respected national company. I worked for this company until recently when I chose to take voluntary redundancy and follow my own dreams. I have a vast and varied experience of supporting people with a wide range of needs including; learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health conditions, autistic spectrum disorders, acquired brain injuries, Korsakoff’s syndrome and dementia and during this time I have undertaken various training in order to enhance my knowledge of these conditions to enable me to support people to the best of my ability.

I will be working on a self-employed basis, I hold a valid DBS Certificate and have Public Liability Insurance. I also hold a clean driving licence and have business insurance that allows me to transport people in my car but I am also happy to drive mobility cars.
