Julie Hewitt - Service Manager

Julie has been in care pretty much all of her life, in one way or another. She spent her childhood growing up with family members with learning disabilities and mental health issues and so learned to 'care' from a young age. She started her working life in an educational setting as a Teaching Assistant working with primary children, in for the most part behavioural situations.

After completing her NVQ’s she then took on a Care Manager position with a Learning Disability Team in the South, providing supported living to a wide variety of people with specific needs. Julie then joined Amberwood Lodge as Deputy Manager before taking over as Service Manager in June 2023.
