Chris is the secretary to the Board of Directors. Filled with youthful dreams and bold ambitions he went South in search of work and ended up working in the Civil Service for more than 20 years. He would love to travel the world but, in the meantime, he enjoys reading non-fiction; trying to master drawing, the piano and the Japanese art of iaido. When time and weather allows, he takes time to feed the local crows.

Callum is the Finance and Data Assistant at Working For Health. He has had a variety of previous roles, mainly in Administration.

He is a strong believer that people who suffer with mental health conditions can thrive and be a great asset in the workplace if in a role that suits their strengths and desires, and receives the right support. Working For Health is a great example of that.

Glen is the Senior Work Recovery Coach at Working For Health. His journey within the organisation started 5 years ago when his life was in a very different position than it is today.

He enjoys a wide range of  sports especially Football. He also likes reading and listening to Podcasts from individuals with different backgrounds.

Zuleika is an Administration Assistant, providing support to other staff members in a variety of areas, and takes the lead on social media. She joined Working For Health as a Volunteer after a change in personal circumstances left her feeling isolated. Her favourite thing about the company is how dedicated and passionate the staff are about helping everyone who walks through their doors.

In her spare time she loves crafting and has recently taken up Crochet and Jewellery Making.

Paige is a Senior Employment Specialist. She joined the organisation in August 2024 as part of the North Yorkshire team, after working for over five years in residential care specialising in mental health and learning disabilities. She loves how approachable and friendly everyone on the team is.

In her free time she enjoys spending time with family and friends, taking her dog on long countryside walks, listening to music and going to the cinema. She is also part of a great martial arts club which she has been attending for six years and spends a lot of her evenings either there or in the local gym.

It’s great to be part of such a positive organisation, and to play an active role in nurturing, supporting and valuing people.

Outside of work, I love music, reading, and writing.

Suzanne trained as a careers’ adviser back in 2008 and later worked for the University of Hull, the NHS and local government supporting people with their career decisions and into work. Suzanne finds having a background in careers advice is useful in her work with Working for Health.

Outside of work she enjoys cooking for friends and family, walking in the countryside and pottering in her garden. 

Nicola is the Employment specialist working on the Connect to Work programme in Hull. She feels very fortunate to be moving into this role, as it gives her the opportunity to use the skills and experience that she has developed throughout her teaching career and through her background in psychology in a different way.

Outside of work, Nicola enjoys practising meditation, mindfulness and has a passion for world travel.

Nick is a Work Recovery Coach who started his journey at Working for Health as a volunteer. He now supports individuals whose mental health has created barriers to finding or sustaining meaningful work.
