Special Needs Care in Charnwood

| Being a parent and carer to a child with a brain injury I know how hard life can be so I went and worked with adults with learning disabilities and realized how suited I was to this role, I have worked within all different areas of special needs from the young to the very old.

| Charnwood Respite Services are very proud to be a new business that has identified a need to provide local individuals with a learning disability with the opportunity to move into supported living within the Charnwood Area, and offering an educational based day care provision, to move the learners towards long term employment. Our first home is set in Shepshed, where we will be providing a home for up to 5 individuals. The care side of the business will be managed by a CQC registered care manager, with over 20 years experience. Our qualified tutor has over 10 years teaching experience within this sector, with a Health and Social Care background. Both are passionate regarding their work within the care sector and believe that everyone should have an equal chance to access education and training, good quality care and to be able to work towards improving their independence through the aforementioned avenues.

I gained my City and Guilds, NVQ 2, Team Teach, Health and Safety, POVA, First Aid, and others. I love my job and get a smile on my face when you see them gain confidence and skills. Also i hold child coaching to gain confidence in this wide world and help with bullying.
