Nice to Meet You

Welcome to my personal development plan! My name is Emily and I set up this site to create a space to share my personal development plan prompted by leadership programs I have been involved with. I am a married, almost 30, dog mum. 

I currently work in Scarborough as the team leader for Rough Sleeper Support Services. My title is the rough sleeping/REACH partnership coordinator. Loosely translated this means I coordinate the support for everyone sleeping rough across Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. It also means I project manage our Housing First project. I have one officer I directly manage and a wider multi-disciplinary team that work within Housing First. My days are busy and I definitely would like to find more effective ways of working. 

Recently the council have been through a period of transformation themselves. We have come together to form a larger unitary council. 

I initially started this blog to share my ‘time to lead’ development plan. This was on the back of a leadership program delivered by the old borough council. 

​

More recently, North Yorkshire Council have accepted me onto a Middle Management Program, that I am currently working my way through. this program has prompted me to make a development plan to transition into being a better leader. I have integrated the learning from this course into this online space as well. 

I love learning and I’m competitive so academics are my strong suit. I’d love to complete a doctorate degree or phd one day. 

I try to stay active but I am far from healthy. This is something I’d like to improve on !  I would also love to develop my DIY skills to revamp my new home.
