Each month we bring you behind the scenes to put the well deserved spotlight on our staff that help us make a difference to communities throughout the North East. This month meet Sandra Roberts, Governance and Development Manager.
"I joined the Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP) in January 2008. Over the last 15 years I have had a number of roles with PCP and have gained vast amount of experience in that time, which helps me in my current role.
"I’m currently the Governance and Development Manager and work with the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) supporting a number of crosscutting areas including Business Development, Governance, Quality, Policy and Procedure Development and co-ordinating Reporting. In additional I also support the Happiness Hubs team.
"In my role I work both internally with our staff team and externally with a number of stakeholders co-ordinating activities including our quality assessments.
"No two days are the same. I keep busy and jump about from one task or activity to another. Someday I could be focussed on quality standards, or sitting on a panel reviewing grant application. It’s challenging but rewarding.
"Working here as long as I have there have been so many memorable moments and its impossible to choose a favourite. However, if I have to pick something that was particularly noteworthy it would be PCP receiving the Queens Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest possible achievement for groups, led by volunteers, that are truly outstanding and make a big difference to their local community. I have also worked with a number of remarkable individuals, clients, staff etc.
"Working with our amazing teams and seeing the impact they have on our communities is the greatest reward. I am really proud of the impact that staff have on those PCP support. It’s also great to see individual members of staff achieve their aspirations.
"I feel passionate that health, wellbeing and learning for all applies to our staff and I get a great sense of achievement supporting this through the Employee Engagement Council, Better Health at Work and policy development.
"Learning is a life-long journey and over my time at PCP have completed a number of courses and training, including on the job training. In that respect, I really do feel that PCP is a great place to work as there are always new opportunities. Most recently I have completed my Level 7 in Strategic Leadership, alongside the rest of SLT undertaking team development including EQi."
