Oldham governors

I have a strong relationship with members of the Oldham community and recognise the communities needs. I am willing to work hard for them in creating a better environment.

• I am a professional in the health and fitness industry. I have 2 specialist titles in weight loss and corrective exercise.
• I have a GP referral exercise qualification.
• Personal trainer qualification.
• Degree in Criminology and criminal justice.

I work with a number of organisations promoting health and fitness, helping people to overcome illnesses and have an active lifestyle myself. I speak 3 languages and work in all areas of Oldham. I volunteer for charities within the area that support homeless people. I have worked with people of 5 years to 70 years, making a positive difference in their lives.

My experience with working with members of the public and my expertise would be greatly beneficial for the people of Oldham. I want to see more people leading a healthy and joyous life.

My qualifications and knowledge can be used for the community.

I am proud to represent the people of Oldham and help to ensure they get the best service possible, having been a patient myself due to a heart-attack. 

I currently work in the Civil Service (Home Office) as an assistant director in procurement and contracts, having worked in central government over 30 years. I am from an ethnic minority background (Bangladeshi) and was previously a governor and trustee for the Harmony Trust Academy. I want to support and help give back to the community that I live in whilst representing their views and opinions to ensure their needs are met. I am married with 4 children and my elderly mothers lives with us.        

I have strong leadership and management skills, that is tapered to the needs of stakeholders whether it is speaking to the ordinary citizen, or to people at CEO/director level.

I am a confident person and present myself in a very professional manner at all times. I am not afraid to ask questions and dig deeper to fully understand problems and issues, look for solutions through consultation and resolve in and achieve the best optimal result. I would like to gain an insight on how the trust works, from senior management level to the role of the porter in particular what value for money and services are provided to the people of Oldham. 

I am a caring, empathetic, conscientious and organised person who believes that person centred integrated healthcare is a basic human right and should be accessible to everyone, irrespective of background.

I have lived in Oldham all my life and have a passionate interest in the healthcare and wellbeing sectors. I am mother to four children and step mother to four, with twelve grandchildren ranging from ages seven to sixteen, with another along the way.

I have over thirty years administration experience, and over ten years working in Residential Care Homes, overseeing the care administration for the elderly, those living with Dementia and those with Nursing needs. I currently work as Head Office Manager responsible for the Administration of thirteen Care Homes throughout the North West, including Oldham.

Working in Social Care and my subsequent day to day interactions with NHS services gives me an understanding of the challenges surrounding the care system. I have an acute awareness of the financial pressures to provide complete person-centred care within boundaries. My particular interest lies in the aging community and how to support them in living a fulfilled and dignified life.

I regularly engage with NHS workers and Service Users and listen to their views regarding the services provided, of which I could convey to the board without prejudice. I would support investment in technologically and actively promote the facilitation of an integrated system within the NHS, to encompass care, open communication and cooperation between community organisations and service users.
