Jenny is a lecturer in Social Work.

I hold a Masters degree in Social Work and am registered and qualified in Social Work. My social work career was in Adult Services, both community and hospital based. For some years, I was an Off-site Practice Educator. I am currently responsible with a colleague for social work placements for our BA and MA Social Work courses. I also assist with Adult Law and generally assist my team colleagues when required.

My teaching career with Canterbury Christ Church University, since I joined the Social Work team in 2019, has been varied. I have worked on Placement preparation, Interprofessional Skills Module and Adult Law. I have also assisted with Theory and Practice Education.
