As Director for Specialist Services, I am the strategic lead and responsible for all specialist accommodation services, including the Community Accommodation Service (CAS3) Ministry of Justice contracts. I lead on operational delivery and transformational change, ensuring high levels of quality, performance and effective contract delivery. I am also lead partner for relationships maintaining a positive public profile for The Housing Network.

I joined THN in January 2025 and have over 20 years’ experience in the Criminal Justice System, working in both the Ministry of Justice and His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service. I have extensive experience of working and leading high performing teams to deliver policy, programme and project outcomes, and a substantial track record of demonstrating the resilience and ambition required to deliver high quality results, improve performance, and influence best practice across many areas.

Outside of work I am married with 3 children, enjoy playing and watching sport, coaching, travel and can often be found in the garden.

THN provides safe, stable and supportive housing and places a special emphasis on helping families and individuals facing significant life transitions. We are outcome focussed and support reducing long term reliance on public sector resources and funding – everyone deserves a chance!
