Research Coordinator for the Faculty of Health. I joined Plymouth University in May 2013 as a Research Administrator working on a variety of projects, supporting the delivery of research and administration within the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry and BioMed. I have worked in a variety of roles, based around research within the university and collaborating establishments. This has enabled me to gain a vast array of experience and working practices giving me the skills and knowledge to lead the Research Support Team for the Faculty of Health.
My current role involves: Research award application processes, Ethics process, external and internal faculty and school studentship application process and management, support for the ADR and wider research teams such as AHoSR, DDDC, DC and finance, PGR/PhD Studentships, collaboration with external funders, REF, supporting large individual research awards, event management, research related training.
I have 30 years’ plus experience working in the Education sector across a variety of sector skills. For seven years I held the position of Head of Academy for Health at a large South West College managing all aspects of the students journey within their chosen career path ensuring the delivery of a rounded industry related curriculum for students age 14 upwards on the theory and practical sides of working with children, being a teaching assistant and all aspects of health and social care incorporating all Apprenticeships offered within this field. I have been involved in the curriculum development for all related courses and worked closely with awarding bodies and external agencies within these fields when developing the QCF framework. This involved developing training programs for students and employers in line with relevant legislation and best practice within the industry. I am a qualified internal verifier for all the awards that were taught in the Faculty of Health and worked closely with the awarding bodies ensuring high standards were maintained. I have an adult teaching qualification.
I have held managerial roles for many years and lead a variety of teams through the change and transformation in education and research structures to ensure we can all achieve high levels of support, knowledge and skills within the working environment, and the wider communities we collaborate with.
