Kay has worked in adult social care (and sometimes in health) for the last 20 years and has a particular interest in supporting adults with a learning disability and/or Autism. As a self employed worker, Kay covers a variety of roles, working in different organisations, which makes life really interesting! Kay lives in Wiltshire with her family and Rex the dog! Having not found life in formal education very engaging, Kay isn’t formally qualified in very much at all but by giving lots of types of work a go has been lucky to find work that she loves! Kay has recently taken up learning to play the piano and is looking forward to playing “Jingle Bells” in her first concert in December 2023. Kay hopes that her work and life experience will help to make a meaningful contribution to The Camden Society in her role as a Non Executive Director.
