Achievements

Community Living British Columbia

Currently responsible for the on going development of a unique suite of modules, implemented across the province through PARIS to support CLBC in our delivery of supports to the citizens of British Columbia.

 

Torbay Social Services Child Protection Database

I was the lead application developer in the successful preparation and launch of the child protection system. This entailed process design, application development, data verification and migration.

 

Children In Need Census

I was the lead application developer for the completion of the Children in Need census that reports to the Department of Health. This involved the database set-up, questionnaire distribution and collection, data input verification and subsequent delivery of performance statistics.

 

Performance Management Database

I had the lead in the creation of the Directorate’s Integrated Performance Measurement System. This entailed the creation of a database to bring together various database sources in order to link performance indicators to corporate objectives. This includes the creation of performance charts used by Senior Management for strategic decision-making.

 

Business Process Re-engineering

I was the lead for all procedural process changes within Children’s Services. This entails me in translating policy and legislation into working practices for both practitioner and administration staff. I have done this successfully for the Children Looked After, Child Protection, Leaving Care and Children with Disabilities teams.

 

Policy

I was Torbay Council’s representative for the National Social Care Information Governance Reference Group. Within this I have played an active role in the adaptation of the National Health Service Toolkit into a Social Care Toolkit. From this I have recently completed the creation of the Directorate’s Draft Information Governance Policies.

 

My Commitment

 

I am committed to working for the community, within an organisation that values its core objectives. I am a people person and strive to learn from those more experienced, within the diversity of my working environment.

I believe in being smart and punctual in the presentation of my work and myself.

 

The experience I have gained throughout my professional working life has given me opportunities to help those less fortunate than myself, this I wish to continue to do.

 

I understand there very well may be learning curves involved with our plans to emigrate, but I look forward to these challenges.

 

I understand the importance and difficulties of bringing together a seamless network of care from a systems perspective and the challenge of information sharing protocols.

 

I believe that I can become a valued part of any organisation and by doing so will help to deliver a sustainable future to a strategic, community oriented organisation.
