During his career Jim was employed as a business development adviser to the construction and building services industries. His primary responsibilities were to assist smaller enterprises in the development of their businesses, and to ensure that they met sound operational and nationally accredited standards especially when assessed against ISO 9001 criteria. His qualifications in business administration and auditing proved invaluable in meeting these demands. In his latter career he motivated a regional team that provided customer support and was responsible for recruitment to a leading trade association. Jim has a keen interest in the work of Think Children which he believes offers tremendous support to young children who are experiencing emotional wellbeing difficulties. Steve was, until the recent Covid outbreak, an Emotional Wellbeing Facilitator for Think Children. In the past he has been a volunteer for Parent Line Plus and more recently a Childline call centre volunteer on the switchboard. He has also served as a parent governor in his local primary and secondary schools. Steve was for many years a trustee of the Nottingham based charity Equation. For 35 years Steve and his partner Carol owned and operated a pet shop in Beeston Nottingham and says he has many stories about that! Rebecca has been involved with Think Children since 1992, initially as a client before moving to be a junior group leader and then a young person’s representative on the Management Committee. Rebecca became a Trustee in 2000, has spent seven years working as an HR advisor in the NHS and is now an Operational Manager within the NHS. Rebecca holds both a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resources Management and M.Sc in Strategic Personnel & Development. John is an ex DWP Senior Civil Servant with a career starting in the private sector in HR and moving through Employment and Education Departments, and Cabinet Office, before final full-time post of Strategy Director at the Independent Living Fund. Having taken voluntary exit from ILF in 2011 and having a young family and a desire to continue to contribute and learn, John’s role as Director at Think Children makes use of his previous professional experience in new ways and in a new sector.
