Emma Bishop
Tenancy Support
Co-ordinator
I’ve worked as a Tenancy Support Coordinator for almost 6 years, but I have over 20 years of housing experience in various different roles.
Every day is different in my role and I have the opportunity to work with a wide range of people.
I am particularly passionate about helping to combat loneliness and isolation.
I also enjoy pursuing grants for vulnerable people in need.
Sarah Cook
Tenancy Support
Co-ordinator
I am based mainly in the Dereham area but also cover other areas of Norfolk.
I’ve been in my tenancy support role for 5 years, and I enjoy helping people to improve their situation and life opportunities. I am particularly passionate about mental health, and about creating opportunities for activities to combat loneliness and isolation.
Jess Kent
Tenancy Support
Co-ordinator
I have been working at Broadland for 11 years, and in Tenancy Support for 9 years. Before this I worked in the area of mental health and learning difficulties. I feel strongly about mental health and about breaking the stigma that is attached to mental ill health, and challenging the discrimination that people face.
Kate Sadler
Employment & Training Coach
I’m a qualified advisor and I’ve worked in colleges, prisons and in the community in similar roles. I’ve been working with Broadland Housing for the last 6 years and I love helping people identify a pathway to reach their goals, whether in training, volunteering or gaining employment. I cover all of Norfolk and Suffolk, and can see you in one of our offices or visit you at home.
Phil Yates
Tenancy Support
Co-ordinator
I am based mainly around the King’s Lynn area and have over 15 years of support experience in various different roles, including homelessness.
I enjoy my job – it is great knowing we are improving lives and creating better neighbourhoods.
The current climate means we are seeing more deprivation. The geographical nature of Norfolk also means some of our tenants face isolation and loneliness.
I feel committed to making a change and improving lives.
Kevin Gee
Tenancy Support Manager
I am fortunate in being responsible for the day-to-day supervision and management of the Tenancy Support Team. They are dedicated, passionate, like-minded colleagues, who all wish to make a positive difference by providing excellent customer focused support services.
Matt O’Brien
Welfare Benefit Advisor
I mainly cover Great Yarmouth and Waveney but sometimes other areas as well. I have worked in support roles for many years and enjoy the variety and challenge of my job. I am very passionate about welfare rights and helping people to tackle benefit problems and get what they are entitled to.
Sophie Pearse
Tenancy Support Co-ordinator
Before I came to Broadland I worked for 5 years at a small charity helping single homeless people. My passion is homelessness prevention. I understand the trauma of not having a place to call home. I work with a person-centred approach to support individuals and families to sustain their homes and lives. I am based mainly around the Norwich area but also cover other areas of Norfolk and Suffolk where needed.
