We are really pleased to welcome Clover Lake to the GYC team as Education Development Officer. Clover will take over from Rebecca Bryan who has done a great job in this role over the past year and has moved across the team to a full-time role as a Keyworker. Thankfully she has been on hand to help Clover settle in and learn all about our work with schools and other education settings.
We asked Clover a few questions to get to know her…
What interested you about working at GYC?
Partly because I love a good cause which keeps me motivated in my work and I also enjoy the diversity of working for a charity with the variety of work and locations, such as working in the office, in schools and at other events.
What was it about the role of Education Development Officer that attracted you?
The education role specifically stood out to me as I have always worked with young people and in education settings so I know that getting the message out this way and creating strong relationships with the schools locally is how we will find the young people that really need the support.
What are you looking forward to the most about working at GYC?
I look forward to meeting the young carers and hearing the impact the Charity have had on them and their lives.
Do you have any pets?
Yes – I have a house rabbit called Biscuit. She is my personal assistant when working from home.
What is your dream holiday destination?
This can change weekly but at the moment I am quite keen on the idea of Hawaii…..
