She manages the administrative function for the organisation ensuring consistency of systems and processes throughout all areas and manage, and take responsibility for central office facilities and contracts relating to the organisation.
Karen says she feels very lucky in her role as she gets to meet lots of the people that are important to Ategi; our staff, our carers, the people we support and external organisations that we work with.
In her spare time she loves to spend time with her family and enjoys long walks in, and around, our lovely countryside and coasts. Karen also loves sport and regularly attends rugby and football matches.
