  • Wayne Fulton

    Director of Services

    Wayne started at Dame Hannahs in 2014 as Deputy Manager of Adult Services progressing to Registered Manager then Nominated Individual. He is now Director of Services. Before he joined Dame Hannahs he worked for another provider that specialised in supported living. He worked there for seven years and had a number of different managerial roles within that time.

    “What I enjoy most about working at Dame Hannahs is seeing the young people we support living fulfilled and meaningful lives because of the care and support we provide. I have seen many changes over the last ten years including changes within the structure of the organisation, changes in social care practice, changes in regulation/legislation, the challenges of a pandemic. I have also seen the growth of Adult Services which has doubled in size since I have been in post, and most importantly seeing the people we support develop over the years with the support from the Trust. Looking to the future, we are implementing a new structure for the regulated services, we are looking at areas of investment to improve the site and the services we offer and as part of that, we are looking to develop/grow our regulatory provision for the benefit of the young people that require our support.”
