Job title: Navigator

Jemima joined the team at WECIL as a Navigator in early 2022, after previously working with the Independent Living Payments Team on Direct Payments. With a passion for supporting parents and carers, Jemima brings not only professional skills but also her personal lived experience of supporting a Disabled person to her role. This personal connection to WECIL's mission, alongside the organisation's values, made WECIL the perfect fit for her.

In her role as a Navigator, Jemima thrives on the diversity of daily interactions and the continuous learning opportunities it provides. Part of a strong team, she values the collaborative environment where different specialists come together, pooling their knowledge to support Disabled people in living independent lives. The variety of services offered by WECIL enables her to make a real difference in the lives of those she supports.

Jemima's background in counselling, combined with various roles requiring refined communication and listening skills, equips her with the tools necessary to excel as a Navigator. Her ability to connect with people, understand their needs, and find effective solutions is a testament to her professional and personal dedication to her work. Outside of her role at WECIL, Jemima enjoys enriching her life with family and friends, engaging with the outdoors, practicing yoga, participating in a choir, writing, and running. These activities not only provide her with a balanced life but also reflect her holistic approach to wellbeing, which she extends to those she supports through her work at WECIL.
