Simon Rogers

Simon has worked in social care for over 35 years having started as a support worker many years ago, I worked my way up and enjoyed a career as a Registered Manager of various services for over 25 years. I have worked with some brilliant staff along the way, and have loved every minute of my career to date. At the young age of 57,I decided to take a break from being and manager and joined Family Support Wales in 2021 after a chat with Clive the RI, and have loved my time working with young people, for me it’s all about making a difference and supporting the young people to achieve in life, and reaching their potential, I’m enjoying working in the Carmarthenshire team with some brilliant staff. When i have five minutes I’m mad on sport and love rugby, cricket and family time.
