As Director of AACS, I bring experience in working directly with young people as well as a strong background in building and managing successful businesses. This combination of practical youth work and strategic leadership enables me to focus on creating a home where children feel supported, empowered, and given every opportunity to be the best version of themselves.



My work with young people has given me a deep understanding of the challenges they face and the importance of providing consistent care, positive role models, and opportunities for growth. My business experience allows me to ensure that the home operates efficiently, and with a clear focus on achieving the best outcomes for children in our care. 

As Finance Director of AACS, I bring both professional expertise and a deep personal commitment to ensuring that every child in our care is provided with the highest standard of support, safety, and opportunity. My role involves overseeing the financial sustainability and accountability of the home, ensuring that resources are used effectively to create a nurturing, stable environment where children can thrive.



Alongside my professional responsibilities, I also serve as a Magistrate, a position that strengthens my understanding of safeguarding, justice, and the importance of fair and ethical decision-making. This experience reinforces my commitment to upholding the rights of children and ensuring that our practice meets the highest standards of integrity and compliance.

Hello my little treasures! My name is Ange and my role at AACS is Office Manger and part time support worker. I have been fortunate enough to spend 14 years of my career working with students at an outstanding Secondary School, as a part of the student service team. This position enabled me to be on hand for children from 11 years old right up to the age of 16.

Whilst working in education I did play many different roles across the board including first aider, receptionist, admin, reprographics and accommodating the students out on school trips. Working with Children I were deemed a responsible colleague in ensuring that safeguarding, mental health awareness and GDPR are paramount in making sure our young people were kept safe. 

Once all my children grew up, I no longer required as much time away from work and was ready for a new challenge when approached by Karen our Director. Four years down the line I am still thoroughly enjoying engaging in activities with our young people and being fortunate enough to continue with office duties alongside a great team of colleagues.

Hi I'm Jake, I've worked in IT since leaving college but only jumped on to the residential childcare scene at the start of 2022. We recently welcomed our second child in to the world so when I'm not with my son or daughter I'll be in front of my computer screen playing games.
