I've just been promoted to Service Manager for our Lancashire and Manchester contracts but have been working type of role for about 8 years, first in Wigan then North Lancashire supporting people in Recovery to access training and employment opportunities.　

Prior to this I worked for the DWP for 4 years in Jobcentres in Newton Heath and Wythenshawe! 　

I’ve just completed a Degree in Business Management (through the Growth Company) and we welcomed our daughter into the world in October last year so weekends? What are they? I'm still trying to get to the gym, go running or do some ridiculous obstacle race through 2 feet of mud when the opportunity arises though.　

 

Mark has occupied the role of Employment Advisor for approximately twelve years, providing information, advice and guidance for disadvantaged individuals encountering a broad range of barriers including criminality, homelessness and substance misuse.  Prior to this he worked as a Community Service / Unpaid Work Supervisor for Merseyside Probation Service. 

He's worked for the Growth Company for three and a half years leading a team of ETC’s in partnership with CGL, providing quality assistance to Service Users in recovery from substance misuse in order to improve employability, encouraging and empowering development through opportunity. 

Additional to spending time with his young family in his spare time Mark enjoys being active in the great outdoors, challenging himself whenever possible, most recently undertaking a week long solo hike in the Scottish Highlands.
