Tony Nottingham
My experience covers both operational management and service development. I do not come at problems with set answers. Instead I have the ability to listen, get to the root of a problem, and then design a tailored solution or range of possible solutions.
Whilst being a very creative thinker and capable of coming up with innovative ideas, I also have the ability to get the best out of others. This can take the form of individual mentoring/coaching, team building and conflict resolution.
My commitment
From the outset I will be very clear about what I can and can't do. I will agree, and keep to, a clear specification for each piece of work I'll do. You will know what to expect, how much it will cost and how quickly it will be done.I will also address any concerns regarding my service within 7 working days.
Background
I have over 25 years experience in Social Care, Housing & Health, with over 10 years of it at a senior management level. From 2002 until 2009 I had responsibility for Rethink’s East Midlands Region, first as Operations Manager, and from 2004 until 2009 as Regional Manager.
Consequently I have experience of the development and management of a number of service types, namely:

In addition:
I am the National Brokerage Network (NBN) Co-ordinator for the East Midlands. I am a NHS Nottingham City Approved Broker.
I am a Mental Health Act Manager for Partnerships in Care.
I was also the Rethink Lead on environmental issues and developed a strategy to reduce the organisation's carbon footprint.
I was one of three researchers responsible for the 2004 NIMHE commissioned report; 'At Home'- a study of mental health & housing.
