Sam established Solutions Action Management in 2001 as a result of the ever growing need for specialist, skilled and experienced personnel. Prior to setting up the company, Sam started as a student at WDP where she underwent her Social Work training in conjunction with Brunel University. She then continued to study and work undertaking her MA in Social Work at The Tavistock Institute whilst working as a Care Manager for Local Authority Substance Misuse Teams. Wanting to make an impact within the field, she took a strategic role and became a DAAT Co-ordinator. In 2001 she decided to work on a freelance basis and undertook needs assessments, CAD projects and interim DAAT roles for various DAAT Partnerships. With a vast network and a growing demand for consultants and temporary staff, SAM (Solutions Action Management) was founded.
Solutions Action Managment continued to develop and is now registered with the Care Quality Commission (formerly CSCI) and now supplies substance misuse nurses alongside social workers, drug workers, counsellors, senior managers and strategic consultants.
Sam feels she is best placed to assist all organisations involved with substance misuse remits and with many years experience within the field she continues to provide excellent personnel to assist all levels of services. She is always available to discuss your needs whether you are a volunteer trying to find work for the first time or a Managing Director looking for an exceptional consultant.
