Community Services Manager
Jen has worked as an Occupational Therapist for over 25 years in a variety of settings. She is passionate about partnership working and has seen what a difference voluntary and statutory services working together can have with individuals and communities.
With personal and professional experience of supporting older people and people with dementia, Jen works with individuals to live lives that are meaningful to them, focusing on what they can do, not what they can’t. This includes enabling them to carry on with the activities they did before, but perhaps in a different way.
Jen loves to see people develop and enjoys coaching and mentoring. She also supports occupational therapy undergraduate students and apprentices on placements.
Forests are Jen’s happy place along with her garden where she can often be found pottering. She volunteers as a Scout leader and has just discovered creative journaling.
