Chris English, Operations Manager
What is your role on Engage to Change?
I manage the staff and the Engage to Change project within ELITE Supported Employment.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Whilst completing observations with the staff I get to meet some of the young people within the project and occasionally I get to meet them later on within the project. Seeing their progression is what I enjoy most.
What has been your proudest Engage to Change moment?
Seeing a young person achieve one of their goals, this can range from being able to travel independently, complete a work experience to the ultimate goal of sustaining employment.
Tell us a few of your favourite things…
Golf – I am an avid golfer and can be found on Rhondda Golf Course on most weekends and spring/summer evenings trying to improve my handicap
Cycling – I am also a keen cyclist, I try to cycle as often as I can to keep fit.
