Joanna McNally, Operations Director
I started my Health and Social care career in 2006 as a dedicated, proud Support Worker. I supported wonderful children and young people with complex needs in an educational/residential provision. With an instant connection to the role, I found such passion in enabling people to achieve positive outcomes whilst maximising potential and experiences. I quickly adopted a ‘why not?’ attitude to positive risk taking and support. I have such fond memories of experiences shared with people supported, all of which have influenced my life and shaped me into the person I am today.
Since joining Achieve together in 2018 I found an instant alignment with our organisational values. People who are supported play a key role in every decision that is made and are at the centre of what we do each day. I’ve been fortunate to experience several operational roles here at Achieve together, both as Regional Manager followed by Head of Area for the Northwest. My most recent appointment is as Operations Director; it is a real honour and privilege to lead the operations and work with such an energetic and passionate team.
