Why did you want to join us?

Your Support Matters is passionate about empowering people to choose how they are supported. The organisation helps people manage their own support, champions the important role of Personal Assistants, and educates professionals about the social model of disability. I am honoured to work alongside the team in achieving these goals.

I have worked for more than twenty years as a Behaviour Analyst, supporting people with intellectual disabilities and autistic people, as well as their families and carers. I work across a variety of settings, including people’s own homes, schools and residential support services.

I firmly believe that everyone has the right to live a meaningful life within their local community, with the right level of support. Your Support Matters is a values-led organisation that is achieving demonstrable outcomes for people across Greater Manchester and beyond.
