Chrissy and Jane

Administration

Chrissy joined Socrates in early 2012 as Senior Administrator after many years of working in the NHS. Her wide experience involves working in CAMHS, children's and women's services, paediatric wards, general office administration and PA to a general manager. Chrissy has a well-developed insight and empathy into the diverse needs of Socrates' clients and her experience and skills enable her to provide a very high quality service to clients and colleagues alike.

Jane is our Lead Administrator and joined Socrates in mid 2009. She has extensive experience of working in the NHS including in CAMHS, children and women's services, doctors, health visitors, district nurses and school nurses. Her varied roles have involved working with clients, management and colleagues. Such an array of experience means that as well as being a highly valued member of the team she is able to deliver a service to meet the needs of all of Socrates' clients.

Emily is an Administrator and has worked for Socrates since early 2016 and has completed her Level 3 NVQ in Business Administration. In a short space of time she has quickly become a valued member of the team and she is now the main administrator for the Socrates Multi-disciplinary Assessment and Review Team. Emily exemplifies the real team spirit in our admin team.

Reception

Prior to joining Socrates in late 2016, Mary worked for many years in older people services in the charitable sector running community based initiatives; this involved liaising with a local authorities, charities, social services and the police. She then spent nearly a decade working as a boarding school matron, a role about which she speaks particularly highly. Mary's calm, approachable and sensitive manner is well suited to her role at Socrates.
