  Ergonomic assessor, senior assistive technology trainer, hearing specialist assessor, study coach

  I'm an assistive technology trainer and ergonomic assessor with over 20 years of experience in the DSE/workplace sector. My role is to help clients find ergonomic solutions that improve their health, well-being, and performance at work. I partner with DSE centres, workplaces, and other specialist companies to offer a range of services and products, such as DSE/workplace assessments, posture seating, ergonomic seating, bad back chairs, and desktop accessories. I work with clients from various industries and sectors across the UK, including local authorities, schools, emergency services, energy companies, and SME organisations. I also help clients achieve their educational goals by using innovative assistive technology and ergonomic products. I'm a certified trainer in several specialised software programs, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, Read & Write, MindView, and more. As a study coach, I mentor internal trainers and train new starters. My passion is to support people with disabilities in their education and career journeys. I take pride in what I do and always strive to go the extra mile. By providing our customers with a personalised service that focuses on their needs, I help them reach their full potential. I love my job and enjoy meeting and training amazing people every day. As a hardworking individual, I welcome new challenges every day. Show less
