I’m Felicity and I am the Pastoral Support officer for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. After many years of working in administration, I had step away from full time work to help support a family member. I found working in adult social care fit my needs at the time as it worked around my home-life commitments. I truly enjoy working in a role that allows me to make a positive impact on another person’s life, which is one of the reasons I love working on this project. On top of this, I am also a support worker for people with Physical and Learning Difficulties.
Outside of work, I am very crafty. I love sewing in particular and use these skills to spend time upcycling everything from clothes to furniture!
