How long have you been working at Kingdom? How did it all start?
Since July 2019, I was working for another college also teaching and leading on housing courses. I approached them about a role to develop my work as a Housing Tutor as they offered the full range of housing qualifications, since then I’ve been developing the curriculum including our new courses!

I am Senior Tutor here, I create and update teaching material, deliver, line manage and have also done apprenticeship training coordinating.
From the 1990’s – 2017, I worked in frontline housing in a range of roles, from volunteer, Housing Officer/Support Worker, Manager and Director. Primarily in roles concerned with homelessness and housing related support.
I have postgraduate housing, management, and leadership qualifications.
What’s your favourite part about working at the company?
I love the teaching, the people and the energy that comes with interacting positively with such a wide range of people. Being inspired by the resilience and skilfulness of the people I work with, both colleagues and learners. Constantly learning new stuff. Creating teaching and learning materials and putting them into action. All incredibly fulfilling.
