URPOTENTIAL - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Director - Finance and HR
Hi - I'm Denise and I have over 30 years management experience gained in a number of different settings, but mainly in the not for profit sector. I have studied ILM Level 5 in Leadership and Management and have a significant amount of HR and finance/budgetary experience.
I started my career working within nurseries and other varied posts within the field. I always knew I wanted to work within the youth field but wanted to gain more knowledge. Since having my child I decided to go back to university and completed a BA Honours in Family Support and Wellbeing. Since my time at university I have worked within mental health and supported families to engage to be able to build a stronger family unit and make life better for children, young people and their parents. I am looking forward to building on what I already know here at URPotential and supporting young people and adults in their development journeys.
