Jennifer started working at Supporting Lives in October 2024. She has over 30 years’ experience in the health care industry, with many roles within this sector including senior carer, deputy manager of a care home, specialised domiciliary care, supporting individuals in their own homes of all ages including those that live with severe disabilities, end of life care, autism, ADHD, low level mental health conditions and brain injury. Jennifer has an NVQ level 3 in health and social care.
“I am passionate about delivering the best support I can to help people to make changes to their lives that have a positive impact on their physical and mental wellbeing and hopefully improve their overall quality of life. I am caring and compassionate and want to make a difference. I thrive in a challenging environment.
I have experienced many challenges in my life including my own experience with homelessness and substance misuse. Although this was many years ago it means that I understand the challenges and difficulties that are faced by many of our residents. I try to use my own experiences of recovery to support people in an empathetic and non-judgemental way.”
Outside of work Jennifer enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren, visiting new places and watching a good TV drama.
