Meet The Team

I joined System People in April 2018, my first role within the company was to launch the Education Apprenticeships. This was an exciting time as we worked hard to build programmes and deliver training to the highest standards. Over the following few years we introduced new apprenticeships allowing our apprentices to progress and supporting many local schools to employ an apprentice and have the knowledge that they would be fully supported from day one.

As we grew we employed additional tutors and my role became Sector Lead. I have had the pleasure of watching the apprenticeships grow and new staff join our team, all of which are experts in their fields and share the same passion for education and supporting our apprentices to achieve their full potential.

I now have the privilege to hold the position of Head of Work Based Learning, overseeing all of our apprenticeships within Education, Logistics and Leadership and Management. Alongside this I am also the Designated Safeguarding Lead, this is an important role and with the support of the team we strive to ensure that all of our learners are safe and have access to additional support whenever it is required.

Outside of work I love to spend time with my family, eating out and relaxing with a good book. I love the countryside and wide open spaces and spend lots of time exploring the local Forestry walks with our four Springer Spaniels.

I joined System People in November 2021, originally taking up the role of Business Manager for the Education Team. Over time, my role developed and I was delighted to progress to Head of the department. My background brings together a broad range of experience, having previously worked within the education sector, as well as in the charity sector and banking and finance. This variety has given me a well-rounded perspective that I draw on daily to support both our clients and candidates.

As Head of Education Recruitment, I am responsible for the overall management of the team, ensuring that we continue to deliver an excellent service to the schools and nurseries we work with, while also supporting our growing pool of supply staff. A key part of my role involves overseeing our Safer Recruitment processes and ensuring that we maintain the very highest safeguarding standards, something that is incredibly important to me and to the schools we support. I also enjoy building strong relationships with our clients, understanding their needs and helping them find the best possible people to work in their settings.

Outside of work, I have a range of hobbies that help me relax and recharge. I am an avid reader and can often be found getting lost in a good book. I also enjoy sewing and love the creativity and focus it brings. Music plays a big part in my downtime too – I particularly enjoy going to see live bands whenever I can. I’ll also happily admit to having a soft spot for real ale, and I enjoy trying out new local brews when I get the chance. Travelling is another passion of mine, and I always look forward to foreign holidays where I can explore new places and cultures with my husband and son. These trips create wonderful memories and offer a perfect balance to my busy working life.
