Social

Services offered

I’m a UK-qualified Deputy Team Manager with over a decade of experience in adult social care, safeguarding, and strategic leadership—plus frontline expertise supporting children, families, and young adults from diverse backgrounds. I currently lead two adult social care teams at Milton Keynes City Council, overseeing Social care referrals, safeguarding triage, Section 42 enquiries, supervision of qualified Social Workers, Social work assistants, social work students and support workers, and multi-agency collaboration. I hold delegated budget authority and contribute to service audits, evaluations, and improvement planning.


My early career included placements in youth development and early years settings, where I supported vulnerable children and their families, young adults facing educational barriers, behavioural challenges, and social exclusion. I’m a PEPS (1&2)-qualified Practice Educator, passionate about strengths-based practice, dignity, and resilience. I hold degrees in Social Work and Business Management Studies, enabling me to balance frontline empathy with operational oversight.


I’m now seeking to apply my safeguarding leadership and cross-sector experience to high-impact roles in the Gulf region—particularly in education, healthcare, or humanitarian services where protection, psychosocial support, and inclusive service delivery are key.
