John
Safeguarding Lead and Peer Worker
Hello, my name is John. I am a new Peer Support worker with Take Off. I have previously worked for Kent County Council’s Adult Social Care Department, helping people with physical disabilities and mental health problems to manage their care needs. I am passionate about supporting people to live more independent and fulfilling lives, and have always found this kind of work rewarding. I have experienced mental health problems for most of my adult life, and know how important it is to feel supported by people who know what you are going through. I’m really looking forward to working for Take Off, making new friends, and continuing the great work this organisation does in the local community.
Within Take Off I have lead responsibility for Safeguarding Vulnerable People and Health and Safety matters.
