Principal Consultant
Interim Management & Senior Appointments

I specialise in senior and executive recruitment across the health and social care sector, recruiting permanent leadership appointments throughout the North West and interim appointments across the North of England and Scotland. My focus is on senior operational and executive roles, including Heads of Operations, Regional Directors, Operations Directors, CEOs and C-suite appointments. Having successfully placed numerous executive leaders, I believe this is where I add the greatest value, matching exceptional people with organisations where they can make a lasting impact.

My career in health and social care began long before recruitment. I started as a Healthcare Assistant in domiciliary care and quickly progressed into management, spending 10 years as a Domiciliary Care Manager for a large provider. This hands-on operational background means I genuinely understand the challenges my clients face and can relate to candidates because I've been in their shoes. After moving into recruitment, I've spent my entire career helping care providers secure outstanding leadership talent.

Throughout my journey, I've been recognised for my performance and commitment to excellence. I was awarded Manager of the Year for two consecutive years and became the first person within my company to successfully build a temporary nursing desk from scratch while simultaneously managing a high-performing permanent recruitment desk.

Healthcare has always been more than just an industry to me, it's personal.

My experience in care means I never lose sight of what matters most: the people receiving support. Every time I speak with a candidate or work with a client, I ask myself one simple question: "Would I be happy for this person to care for one of my own relatives?" That principle guides every placement I make and reflects the standards I hold myself to every day.
