Our Team

I’m Diane and I am one of the Directors and Co-founders of Working for Health. I have worked within the field of mental health for over 20 years and strongly believe employment helps recovery. I love my music and you will often find me singing along to a variety of music. When not at work, you can find me in my garden or sewing room. Being organised and having a consistent approach is important to me and I’m considered approachable and a good listener.

When I’m not drinking coffee or on my Mac, watching or playing sport, I love to spend time with my family and friends. At Working for Health, I am one of the Co-founders and Directors and play an integral part in the recovery of the participants. Formula 1 is a particular passion of mine along with coaching a young football team. I love positivity, being organised, honesty and best of all, a good hot drink.

I’m David and am the Chair and one of the Directors of Working for Health. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health service, mentoring and supporting people to develop their potential. I love being around positive people, being organised and improving situations, no matter or big or small. I believe it’s important to have humour in day to day life and always work towards taking care of my health.

I’m Chris and, at Working for Health, I’m the secretary to the Board of Directors. Filled with youthful dreams and bold ambitions I went South in search of work and ended up working in the Civil Service for more than 20 years. I’d love to travel the world but, in the meantime, I enjoy reading non-fiction; trying to master drawing, the piano and the Japanese art of iaido. When time and weather allows, I take time to feed the local crows.

Hi, I’m Charlotte and I am a Work Recovery Coach. Before joining Working for Health, I worked in a similar role in the NHS, supporting people with mental health conditions into employment. I have lived and worked in the East Riding all of my life and I am passionate about getting involved in the fantastic things happening in our local communities, and helping the people I work with to do the same. Away from work, I enjoy walking and birdwatching and generally being outdoors, especially when the sun is out. I love all kinds of music, play the violin in a band and sing in a choir.

I’m Kirsty and at Working for Health, I am the Contracts Administrator. I have many years working in Community Development, supporting the homeless or those at risk of homelessness and also providing community opportunities for people with dementia. I love being organised and enjoy camping and outdoor activities, particularly with my family and dog. Love to talk, listen, bake banana bread and Spring is my favourite season!

I’m Sue and I’m a Work Recovery Coach at Working for Health. Previously, I spent many years teaching Psychology and Health and Social Care in secondary schools and sixth form colleges.  I have also worked in specialist mental health services within the NHS and I’m a Therapeutic Counsellor. I enjoy nature and getting outdoors, travelling to new destinations, being creative and learning new skills and spending time with my family.
