Kristy - Team Manager, Gloucestershire

Hello, I’m Kristy and I am really looking forward to joining Community Foster Care. I qualified in 2004 and I've been very lucky to work in Scotland, Australia and England. I spent the first 6 years of my career working in criminal justice but I've always been interested in permanency for children.  I've worked in fostering for 14 years, most recently for a Local Authority kinship team. I have also previously worked for an IFA.  

One of the things I like doing when I'm not working is outdoor swimming. It's a lot colder than swimming in Australia but wetsuits help a lot!
