Jeanette Tulloch-Jordan (Safeguarding Trustee)
“I see myself as a system leader in that I lead from the front in the work that I do be it in being in groups that motivate staff and managers to do things differently, across service and organisational boundaries in order to meet the needs of others or in supporting those who rely on care and support from different services.”
Jeanette is a post graduate – MA in Leading Innovation and Change - who wishes to add value to Parents 1st. She is a highly motivated and results driven individual who also has a passion for innovation, engagement and strategic leadership.
She has many years Private and NHS experience comprising legal, governance, HR, primary, acute, community and specialised healthcare within commissioning, contracts, finance, operational and provisioning. Jeanette is also involved in additional charity work as a Chair for a Local Authority Board working with children.
Her emphasis is on rebuilding and fostering positive working with disaffected partners by bringing her lived experience, her talent, energy and vision to the Board. Her hope is to ensure that the organisation is always in a position to be able to respond effectively to significant challenges. She wants to be part of the catalyst for real change by showing compassion, gratitude, integrity, common purpose and courage at all times.
