Curtis is passionate about providing opportunities to his clients to unlock their best care, support, therapy and social opportunities.

Before moving into case management, Curtis worked for two years as a Support Team Leader in Wales with a complex client on a 1:1 basis. Prior to this, Curtis worked as a Court Intermediary in the Criminal, Family and Youth Courts across the U.K. where he supported vulnerable defendants’ communication needs during court proceedings.
Curtis has experience working with clients and their families who require complex care, support, case management and therapy.

Curtis places the client at the epicentre of his approach and strives to support all of his clients to live their life to their optimum potential. Curtis is able to achieve this by personalising care and therapeutic input and ensuring it is tailored to the individual.
PERSONAL PROFILE
Curtis resides in the north of England with his partner and is fortunate to be a proud father to his kids. For his sins, Curtis is an avid football fan and season ticket holder of a team in the North West. On weekends where Curtis is not on the footballing terraces, he is often seen going for yomps around the British countryside with his family.
Curtis has personal experience of going through rehabilitation following major surgery & understands the importance of rehabilitation. Curtis is mindful of the profound impact ill health and recovery can have on an individual’s physical and mental health and the lives of those around them. Curtis’ empathy of the recovery process drives his goal to support his clients to discover their full potential and maximise their outcomes.
