Staff and Management

 Centre Manager - Hayley Bell

I joined Spring House in January 2011 having worked with children and families in Hampshire since 1997. My background is in adult learning, particularly working in the community, for both voluntary organisations and the local authority. I was a member of the core team establishing and developing one of the first Sure Start Local Programmes in Hampshire, after which I moved on to lead the development of a Phase 2 Children's Centre in Gosport. I am committed to continue working with parents and carers to support them in giving children the best possible start in life and am looking forward to meeting as many families and children as I can in our local community. 

Family Support/Outreach Worker - Ann Pearce

I am the Family Support and Outreach Worker for the Westerham Children's Centre.  My roots and working experience are in Early Years, from Toddler Groups to running my own pre-school.  As a pre-school learning alliance development worker, and a childcare development officer, plus extended school coordinator at KCC -  I have supported pre-schools, schools, parents and children in the Tunbridge Wells District.

 I really look forward to supporting all the families and children within the Westerham Children's Centre Communities to include -  Brasted, Chevening, Sundrige, Crockenhill, Well Hill, Eynsford, Halstead, Knockholt, Badger's Mount, Seal, Weald, Westerham and Crockham Hill.

Senior Administrator - Tracy Rushbrooke

I have been working at Spring House since April 2010, firstly as the receptionist and now as a senior administrator.

I started work as receptionist at Spring House at the end of November 2010. I really enjoy the variety in my job, especially welcoming the families and making their experience of Spring House a happy one. My background is in administration, as well as teaching pre-school, and working in a support centre with women and families.

Finance Officer/Administrator - Hilary Allberry

I have been working at Spring House since 1999 providing administrative and financial support. There have been many changes at the Centre over the years, but the one thing that has remained constant throughout is the happy atmosphere and the warm welcome families receive who visit Spring House.  My job is extremely rewarding, every day is different, but most of all I enjoy having contact with the parents and children.

Project Officer - Jane Cross

I have worked at Spring House since April 2010, it is a great place to work and provides an excellent service to the people of Sevenoaks and Westerham.

Trustees

Trustees are ordinary people who are elected or appointed by the organisation to sit on their governing body, the trustee Board, and make decisions on behalf of the organisation. All trustees have a written role description.

Chair - The chair is a trustee who is chosen by his or her fellow trustees to lead the board. The chair oversees activities in the boardroom meetings, including leading board meetings, and acts at the main interface with the chief executive. Chairs have an important leadership role and are vital to ensuring good governance practice.

Treasurer – The Treasurer is the trustee who helps the board carry out its duty to provide financial oversight by supplying financial information to trustees and maintaining accounting standards. He or she acts as an interpreter for trustees who have limited understanding of finance.The treasurer can support good governance by working strategically with the board on financial matters. The treasurer has financial skills and experience.

Secretary - The secretary provides support and assistance to the chair, ensuring smooth-running meetings and subcommittees. The secretary records the minutes from board meetings, organises and circulates board papers, arranges communication between meetings where required and generally keeps trustees up to date.
