The Electrical Industries Charity welcomes Claire Shelton as the new Programme Manager for the Big Build project which aims to transform the future of the Dickinson family.
Claire has extensive experience of working in frontline support services and helping people with a wide range of issues including housing issues, debts and benefits management and mental health problems. Claire has also won the ‘Wow!’ You’ve made a difference Award in 2017 at the Wow! Gala Ceremony for her outstanding work in her previous role as an Outreach Officer.
In her new role, Claire will be continuing to bring success with the Big Build project while maintaining the wellbeing and welfare of the Dickinson family throughout the journey.
Claire Shelton says: “I am thrilled to take on such a rewarding job role. This new role is something that I always aspired to do. I am also looking forward to working with such an inspiring Charity which continues to find unique ways to make a positive change to the lives of people in our industry.
“I am looking forward to starting work on this incredible project, and with many years of experience, I believe that I will be able to make a real difference in the Dickinson family’s life. I will also provide all of the in-house support and will look after their well-being and welfare throughout their journey because nothing is impossible if you think outside of the box.”
