  I provided support for their Grandson who had Pottocki-Shaffer syndrome (a disorder that affects development of the bones, brain, and other organs. Bone tumours form called exostoses. This syndrome effects individuals causing enlarged openings in the two bones that make up much of the top and sides of the skull (enlarged parietal foramina). These abnormal openings form extra "soft spots" on the head, in addition to the two that new-borns normally have.)

Cartrefi Cymru

• Carmarthenshire

• Service Manager

  • Apr 2011 - Dec 2022

  Cartrefi Cymru won the contract from Opportunity Housing Trust, so my role was similar to Support Team Manager Role, with the addition of four more services and service users. In April 2012 my role changed and I was asked to swap for a short period of time with the Manager of Carmarthenshire which supported one day service and several sessional services, the manager left after a short period of time so, I was running the Carmarthenshire services and Pembrokeshire services simultaneously, this helped with my time management and communication skills and paperwork skills, the service in Carmarthenshire had no structure or paperwork systems so these had to be started by myself. I was moved permanently to manage Carmarthenshire at the end of 2012; the service grew steadily since my arrival and attained a number of new services after I arrived. The clients I supported have mental, physical and communication difficulties ranging from slight to severe. I also coached a team of support works to improve all aspects of the service and their person centred approach. Show less
