I’ve always been passionate about helping people find a place they can truly call home. Through NextWave Care Group, we have the opportunity to go even further — not just by providing safe, supportive homes for young, vulnerable individuals, but by empowering them with the skills and confidence they need to build happy, independent, and fulfilling lives.

Growing up on the estates of East London, I experienced firsthand the challenges of a traumatic and unstable upbringing. Those early experiences have instilled in me a lifelong passion for reaching and supporting young people who often feel forgotten or misunderstood. At Next Wave, everything we do is guided by that same passion—to offer safety, stability, and the chance to believe in a brighter future. I’m incredibly proud to lead a service that puts young people at the very centre, creating nurturing homes where they feel respected, valued, and empowered. Equally important to me is the wellbeing of our dedicated team. I know from personal experience that when staff are supported and inspired, they’re able to make a lasting, positive impact. That’s why we’re committed to embedding therapeutic, person-centred care into every home we create—because real change starts with real connection.

Helping young people heal and grow after trauma is at the heart of why I do what I do. The values at Next Wave Care Group—especially the trauma-informed, therapeutic, and child-centred approach—really speak to me and align with what I believe in. I truly believe that with empathy, consistency, and the right support, young people can begin to heal and grow. I’m also really passionate about empowering the team—helping staff build confidence, develop their skills, and feel proud of the work they do. For me, it’s all about creating a safe, nurturing environment where both young people and staff feel supported, valued, and able to thrive.

Every young person deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported—especially those navigating the impact of trauma, instability, or loss. Supporting vulnerable young people—especially those who’ve faced trauma, instability, or felt overlooked. For me, there’s no greater purpose than helping to create safe, stable environments where young people can feel secure, valued, and free to grow into who they truly are. Next Wave Care Group stood out to me because of its commitment to genuine, long-term change. The organisation’s strong values, therapeutic approach, and high standards of care align perfectly with my own. It’s not just about providing a service—it’s about transforming lives and making sure each young person feels seen, heard, and supported to achieve their full potential. What really inspires me is the way Next Wave puts both young people and staff at the heart of everything. There’s a real sense of purpose, connection, and belief here. I’m proud to be part of a team that goes above and beyond every day—building trust, creating opportunity, and always striving to make a lasting difference.
