Background & Experience

With a career spanning decades in care and support, Stuart has dedicated his professional life to making a meaningful difference for individuals and communities. His journey began in social housing and the Probation Service, where he worked with ex-offenders to support their reintegration into society. This early experience laid the foundation for a career defined by compassion, advocacy, and a commitment to empowering others.

Stuart progressed to leadership roles, including serving as a Director of Housing, where he developed and managed services for vulnerable groups such as young people experiencing homelessness, individuals with learning disabilities or mental health challenges, care leavers, teenage parents, and those recovering from substance misuse. His work consistently focused on creating stable, supportive environments as a platform for personal growth.

Later, Stuart led a disability charity, collaborating with the NHS to secure funding for essential therapeutic services. He also established social enterprises, including initiatives to support young homeless individuals into employment and a program for ex-service personnel with PTSD, providing therapeutic interventions and housing.

For over a decade, Stuart served as the Chief Executive of a family support charity, expanding services to better support parents with mental health needs and ensuring families received the tools to manage their wellbeing.
