Debbie Lewis

Debbie started her career over 30 years ago as a support worker in residential childcare with children with complex needs and disabilities and has since worked in a variety of childcare settings in management roles.

After having her 3rd child, Debbie felt like a change in career and began teacher training (post compulsory education for learners 16+) and worked for a local college delivering childcare related training and qualifications.  She went on to manage a community learning organisation which delivered a wide variety of training courses and qualifications.

Four years ago, Debbie joined PJL as an Assessor and has now progressed to the role of Training Manager with Stella, the former PJL Training Manager as her mentor. She is excited about the future and knows she has the support of a fantastic training team.

Debbie has a real passion for making learning relevant and developing practitioners skills to ensure the young people have the best care possible. She is delighted to be able to bring her own experience and knowledge to support the staff in their continuing professional development at PJL.

Debbie’s favourite biscuit is a ‘moo cow’ biscuit (AKA Malted Milk!)
