Chief Executive Officer What’s your role at Chailey Heritage Foundation and what does it involve?I joined Chailey as Chief Executive in October 2022. I love the variety of the role and the opportunity to spend time working alongside amazing colleagues and inspiring children and young people. In one way or another, I’ll be focussing on our strategy to increase access to our services, collaborating with partner organisations or highlighting the importance of appropriate support for children and families living with complex disabilities.Could you share a little bit about your career history?My career started in West Sussex social services which is where I first became interested in disability services and support. In the last 25 years I’ve worked across the not-for-profit sector in organisations such as Rethink, NSPCC and Samaritans. A common theme running throughout has been an interest in how to fix, develop or improve the services and support we provide. Working at Chailey feels like the opportunity to combine all the most enjoyable bits of my career to date.What’s your favourite thing to do outside work?It used to be watching Manchester United, but things haven’t been so good of late! I’m happiest pottering with family and friends in the kitchen, garden or with fishing rod in hand.Can you sum up in one sentence what makes Chailey Heritage Foundation a great place to work?It’s all about happy, engaged people working together to make the biggest difference possible.
