Bill FeeneyMy name is Bill and I am the Director at PIP, having joined in early 2010. My remit is to oversee all aspects of the organisation, including operations, finances and funding, and strategic direction. Working at PIP is a genuine pleasure, being part of a dynamic staff which delivers valuable and effective services to a wonderful and stimulating client group. Our service users are PIP’s most valuable resource, playing a key role in the organisation’s present and future direction. PIP’s ability to deliver high quality and effective services towards independent living, work skills development, education, travel training, and emotional and social development make working here both challenging and rewarding. I feel privileged to be part of the PIP community, and look forward to the next stage in our development. |

KatherineHi, my name is Katherine and I joined PIP at the end of October 2011 as Service Coordinator. My role involves overseeing PIP’s four services: W9, SW1, Travel Training and CDP. Even though my job can sometimes be very busy, I really enjoy working for such a unique and dynamic organization, which champions choice and independence for people with learning disabilities. I feel genuinely privileged to work with PIP’s fantastic students, who never fail to put a smile on my face as soon as I walk through the door! |

JessMy name is Jess and I joined PIP in April 2010 as the Accreditation project worker. I am based at PIP W9 and am responsible for the accreditation of the courses run at our W9, SW1 and Travel Training projects, which in short will mean all students completing any course PIP delivers will receive a nationally recognised qualification. Currently I am getting to grips with my role and am really enjoying getting to know the students and the staff team here. It is a lovely, supportive environment to work in, and it is great to see how enthusiastic the students are about gaining their certificates. |

AlastairMy name is Alastair, I have been working at PIP as a Project Worker since October 2010. I facilitate three groups at PIP which are Health Group, Using a Computer and World of Work. My role also involves finding volunteer and paid opportunities for the PIP students as well as dealing with concerns that they may have on a daily basis. |

JadeHello, my name is Jade and I started as a Project Worker at PIP W9 in 2010. I am really enjoying working with the students in this educational environment. My duties include providing ASDAN accredited lessons, key-working students and supporting students to access college courses and other activities in the community. I also now work with a CDP client on one-to-one intensive sessions, supporting her to access more activities in the community. I love the variety that comes with being at PIP. I find supporting people with learning disabilities to develop their skills and make choices about their futures very enjoyable and engaging. |

Giuseppe FurneriHi my name is Giuseppe Furneri and I am a part time Development Worker at PIP. I have been with the organisation for over 8 years. My role is to support the PIP members to develop their skills to lead a more independent life. I facilitate skills teaching groups within the project and encourage students to try new things and to have the confidence to access different facilities in the community. I enjoy working at PIP and find working with people with learning difficulties a thoroughly rewarding job. |

Hayley HunwicksHi my name is Hayley Hunwicks. I have recently joined the team at PIP as part of the Travel Training Project. I am very happy and excited to be in my new role and am looking forward to getting to know the clients and supporting them to gain independence in travelling around London. PIP has a great working environment and a very motivated team of people so I am not only looking forward to my role as Travel trainer but also getting more involved in the services here at PIP W9. |

DorotaMy name is Dorota and I’m a development worker at PIP W9. I just joined the team recently. At the moment I’m getting to know all students and learn about their activities and ideas about being independent. I’m very excited about my new role and I am really enjoying the friendly atmosphere at PIP. Before PIP I used to work in Scope for people with cerebral palsy for nearly 3 years, I had a pleasure of working with an excellent group of people and gain my NVQ 3 qualification. My other work experience I gained in Supported Living Services in East London where had an opportunity to work for people with learning disabilities in their home environment. I like photography, sports and art. Now I want to use my skills and knowledge to support students at PIP in achieving their goals. |

Oliver VincentHi my name is Oliver, I am a Development Worker at PIP. I joined PIP in October 2010, and since joining I have delivered sessions focused on living a healthier lifestyle. Part of my role is also to organise and facilitate social outings within the community. This is a great way for students to socialise in their wider community, see new places and discover new opportunities. The sessions prove very popular and keep students active, and and also encourages exercise. My role is rewarding and energetic and I enjoy seeing the benefits of students developing new skills. PIP is very rewarding to be involved with, the students and staff alike are great to work with. |

I have supported adults with learning disabilities in varying roles for the last 9 years. A big part of my background is in supporting adults with high support needs in communication and leading independent lives. I have also worked as a Professional Advocate where I supported individuals to know their rights, make choices, speak up and to be heard around any important decisions in their lives. |
