Operations Manager
I’m Ellie and I have a background in Mental Health Management with a degree in Sociology and Psychotherapy. This has given me a strong understanding of the importance of emotional wellbeing, positive relationships and supporting individuals with a wide range of needs.
As Operations Manager at The Hub, my role involves supporting the day-to-day running of the organisation, working closely with our management team and staff to ensure everything runs smoothly and our learners receive the best possible support.
My background in mental health has shaped my approach to management. I believe that creating a positive, supportive environment is just as important for our staff as it is for our learners. When people feel valued, listened to and supported, they are better equipped to thrive.
I’m passionate about ensuring The Hub continues to be an inclusive and welcoming environment where every young person is recognised as an individual, with their own strengths, abilities and aspirations.
One of the things I find most rewarding about my role is helping to create an environment where our team can do what they do best – support young people, build their confidence and help them achieve their potential.
I’m proud to be part of The Hub and to contribute to an organisation that puts the wellbeing, development and success of its learners at the heart of everything it does.

Director of Finance & DSL
I’m Scott and I have a degree in Sports Science from Loughborough University and am proud to be part of the leadership team at The Hub.
As Director, my role involves overseeing the day-to-day running of The Hub, with a particular focus on financial management, budgeting and ensuring our resources are used effectively.
A key part of my role is helping to ensure The Hub remains financially sustainable, allowing us to continue developing our provision, investing in resources and creating new opportunities for our learners.
I work closely with our management team to support the smooth running of the Hub, making sure we balance the practical and financial aspects of running The Hub with what matters most, providing the best possible experience for our young people.
One of the things I enjoy most about my role is seeing how the work that happens behind the scenes can make a real difference to our learners, whether that’s through new equipment, improved facilities or opportunities they might not otherwise have access to.
I’m incredibly proud to be part of The Hub and to contribute to an organisation that is committed to helping every young person feel supported, valued and able to achieve their potential.

Director of Education, SENDCo & DSL
Hi,
I’m Vanessa, the Founder and Director of Education at The Hub Educational Services CIC, as well as the SENDCo and a Designated Safeguarding Lead.
I founded The Hub because I believe every young person deserves the opportunity to feel understood, supported and successful in their education. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, nurturing environment where children and young people can build confidence, discover their strengths and achieve things they may never have thought possible.
One of the things I love most about my role is seeing our learners grow in confidence, overcome challenges and celebrate their achievements, however big or small.
I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built at The Hub and the difference we strive to make for our learners and their families every day.
For me, The Hub is more than an educational setting. It’s a family where everyone deserves to feel valued, supported and that they belong.
