I am new to the role of Grants Officer and I am delighted to be part of the Shared Care Scotland Team. I am looking forward to supporting the fantastic work of the Short Breaks Fund, enabling unpaid carers to access regular and meaningful breaks away from their caring role.
My previous experience includes roles in the Civil Service and youth work. Most recently I worked in volunteer management of an adolescent befriending service where, after meeting truly inspiring and incredible individuals, I discovered my passion for the third sector.
Outside of work, I have 2 children that keep me busy. We enjoy camping, games nights and days out together. I also volunteer with my local Scouting group as a Beaver team leader, as well as helping out at Cubs and Scouts or any other opportunities that need all hands on deck! If I have any free time then I love a bit of gardening, yoga and the odd spa day.
