Peter Black

I am a person who has devoted most of his adult life, working alongside young people in a variety of different sectors.  

I believe myself to be conscientious and understanding towards the needs of others, with an empathetic & non-judgemental outlook on life.  

My roles have been very diverse including:
Youth & Community Work full-time contacts in Croydon & Southwark and The British Forces Overseas Youth Service in Hong Kong.
Teaching in both state & independent sectors for 21 years.
A volunteer telephone counsellor for ChildLine at their central London HQ.

Right now I am working towards achieving a significant career shift, seeking fresh challenges in my professional life.  Areas currently under consideration include voluntary sector project work for childrens' charities and mental health / well-being practitioner.

My life purpose statement:
To act as catalyst for change empowering young people to fulfil their potential.
