“Together we can make that first step needed to get back into work!”
At Forward Step Training, I’m committed to establishing long-term relationships with employers, whether regional or national, to support their goals. I love thinking outside the box and finding adaptable solutions that benefit both learners and businesses.
Together with my dedicated team, I work to ensure that learners and employers alike experience lasting partnerships, where we continually strive to find new avenues for collaboration. I’m excited to be part of a company that’s always looking to make a meaningful difference, shaping futures and building careers.
I started life in the big wide world not knowing what I wanted to do, then one day someone suggested I look at working in the care sector. Due to my caring for family members, I did this and what do you know, it helped me see my opportunities in life. One main reason is I love meeting others and getting a sense of achievement.
I was fortunate to have a tutor who saw this in me and pushed me to be where I am today. I have worked with training providers and colleges and built up my skills along the way. This is now my turn to do the same for others.
Now, I'm dedicated to sharing my expertise and helping others succeed in their careers.
I have over 20 years of pleasure working as a Tutor. It is what I love to do and when you come along to FST hopefully you will have a chance of experiencing teaching like you have never seen before. I believe learning should be fun and interesting whilst ensuring your learning style is catered for.
No matter your background or abilities, I guarantee that you will develop in more ways than expected
My background includes working on large-scale projects like HS2 and in one of the biggest warehouses in Europe, where I gained extensive industry knowledge. I'm excited to bring this expertise to our team and contribute to the success of our learners.
Whether it's managing room setups, ensuring safety standards, or assisting with enquiries, I work to keep our operations running smoothly. Additionally, I provide essential office support while actively developing my skills alongside our team, with a keen interest in expanding into partnerships and sales.
