Our Model
Our theraputic model of support is PACE which emphasises the importance of forming positive, empathic, compassionate, and responsive relationships with children who have experienced trauma. PACE is an approach developed by Dr Dan Hughes, an American psychologist who works with traumatised children.
PACE stands for Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy.
These principles help to promote the experience of safeguarding in our interactions with children and young people.
our HOUSES
Care Hubz Houses
Broad Lane House
The home offers a small family-based setting with the team providing a caring and nurturing living experience on a 24-hour basis.
After leaving school, I worked in the textile industry for over 20 years. To support and encourage my daughter to attend college I completed an access to higher education course, where I had the chance to volunteer at a homeless shelter as part of the curriculum.
My passion for helping others then led me to start working with young people, initially in a mother and baby unit. In 2003, I joined Calderdale Council as a casual residential worker, becoming a permanent staff member in 2007. I then moved to a short break unit for children with learning disabilities in 2011, where I stayed until 2015 before changing my career path to focus more on support than care.
For the next 8 years, I had the privilege of supporting 16-18 year old care leavers, and I was even promoted to manager in 2018. It was a very rewarding experience, but I was eager for a new challenge when the opportunity to become a team leader working with Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) became available. I'm really enjoying the new experiences and the chance to support these young people as they navigate the asylum process and work towards living independently developing skills for community safety and involvement, personal hygiene, and basis English.
Outside of work, I cherish my time with my children and grandchildren. It brings me great joy to be able to spend quality time with my loved ones.
