Senior Mentor

kye@ngagedltd.uk

Hi, I am Kye and my hobbies and interests consist of spending time with my wife and daughter. Some of the family activities we do together are swimming and walking. I enjoy eating nice food, both home cooked and meals out, and I also love to travel and see new places and cultures along the way. I enjoy going to the gym and playing sports and love that this fits with some of the skills I am trying to work on with young people supported by Ngaged.

Life Before Ngaged Ltd

I have many qualifications in different areas including Oliver Mcgowan Learning Disabilities and Autism, Motivational Interviewing and BTEC Sport.

I have worked in Mental health for the last 10 years, with the last 6 years being in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). I have experience working on a psychiatric intensive care unit with adults, inpatient adolescent mental health services and I am currently working in the community for CAMHS enhanced support and liaison services alongside working for Ngaged.

Skills that I work on with the young people I support include: self regulation, management of difficult emotions, understanding and managing anxiety and building self esteem and self belief. Physical activity and sport based learning is a huge part of this.

What I Do At Ngaged Ltd

I was encouraged by a member of the existing Ngaged team to apply for a job with Ngaged. They shared with me how it's a fantastic company to work for. The type of support Ngaged provides to the young people they nurture, and the skills they help young people to develop, fitted with my skill set and experience working in mental health and with adolescents.

I enjoy being part of a system that makes such a difference to the vulnerable young people we support. I love seeing them develop skills and abilities they thought they would never be able to achieve.
