Operations and Clinical Team

Here at FineFutures we are proud of our team of highly experienced and motivated staff. Below are our Operations and Clinical Team members:

Operations Team

Steve Blount

Director

As the Company Director, I have owned and taken a hands on approach to running my company since 1999. Alongside a strong management team, I ensure that the support we provide is targeted where needed, whilst leaving the team to be effective in their roles.

My main focus, other than steering and developing the company, is on recruitment, remaining actively involved in interviewing each applicant myself whenever possible. This is done to make sure there is consistency, and to ensure that each applicant understands and possesses the values required of them.

Melanie Camm

Registered Manager

My role is to provide efficient, effective and transparent leadership and management of Finefutures Ltd. I oversee and ensure clients receive high quality support that respects their right to live the lives they choose. I manage and oversee the services provided by the company in accordance with legislative requirements, relevant regulations and in line with accepted best practices.

Declan Leek

Quality Assurance Manager

In my role I help ensure our services meet legal and regulatory requirements as well as delivering outstanding support that is consistently monitored, developed and achieved. I am the lead regarding GDPR UK and I take pride in continuously developing Finefutures’ GDPR processes. The most enjoyable part of my role is visiting our clients during my service inspections; it is rewarding to see the personalised support we provide and I really enjoy socialising with our clients.

Giselle Parkin

Quality Assurance Auditor

I visit services to make sure that the individuals we work with have the best quality support we can provide and ensure we are compliant with regulators. When visiting services staff have the opportunity to talk to me about the support they provide. In my job, I enjoy hearing what individuals think about the support they receive.

I am a qualified Social Worker responsible for leading on day to day management of safeguarding, compliments and complaints within Finefutures. I ensure thorough investigations and outcomes happen, working alongside commissioner bodies, external agencies, clients and their representatives.

I have supported vulnerable adults and children in my role as a social care practitioner for over 40 years.
My present role of 8 years with Finefutures supports my colleagues to access learning opportunities, achieve sector qualifications and ensure that we keep up to date with the sector changes. This year we work towards every social care practitioner gaining robust knowledge about Autism and Learning Disabilities following the Oliver McGowan report:-

We provide behavioural and mental health support to clients to help improve their quality of life. We work alongside staff teams and families to offer support around accessing the community, improving skills and creating a safe home environment.
