Meet The Team
Lynn Hill- Group Leader
Hi my name is Lynn, I started working at Time out in July 2022.
Previously I had been a Childcare Manager for over 20 years.
I have a son with complex needs so I am very used to the joys and challenges our children bring.
In my spare time I love traveling, gardening and swimming.
Kerry Morris
Hi, I’m Kerry. I started working at Time Out in June 2022. I currently work as a Teaching Assistant in a Special Needs School.
At Time Out it is very relaxed and it is great to see the children having fun in every activity that they do and the staff enjoying themselves too. I’m looking forward to many more activities and good times in the future.
Chloe Palmer
I started at Time Out in Agust 2020 and have really enjoyed getting to know the staff and young people who attend. The group has such a relaxed and positive atmosphere and it is incredibly rewarding to support each young person access social activities within their local community. I also work as a TA at Welcombe Hills School within a complex needs class. In my spare time, I enjoy looking after my horses and spending time with my cats; Sox, mouse and Pumpkin.
Vickie Medcalf
Hi I’m Vickie. I started at Timeout in June 2021. I heard about Timeout through the special needs school I work at. I heard of the exciting activities the group got up to and wanted to be part of it.
It is a fantastic group to be involved with. The staff and children have made me feel so welcome and I look forward to our next adventure together.
Laura Leeson
I started working for Time Out in October 2016 after moving to the area. I previously worked as a room leader and assistant SENCo in a nursery; working with children and families with their child’s learning development, as well as supporting with behavioural and medical needs. I currently work in Early Years. I enjoy working at Time Out as there is a relaxed and homelike atmosphere for both the children and staff and everyone is very supportive.
Harry Rousell
Hi, I’m Harry. I started working for Time Out in July 2019. The group is really caring and the young people make every session enjoyable. This is my first job working with people with disabilities, however I have previous experience from looking after my sister, Lottie. In my spare time, I enjoy playing football and playing with my new puppy, Lulu.
Mike May
I started with Time Out in January 2016. My previous experience includes caring for children and adults with physical and mental disabilities at summer camps in the US. I also worked as a home care assistant in Cornwall. I have moved to the Midlands to train as a doctor. My goal is to be a child and adolescent psychiatrist. In my spare time I like to run, watch films and play with my cat, Bojangles!
Siobhan O’Sullivan
I started working with people with learning disabilities and complex needs in 2009 as a volunteer for a local charity before becoming a permenant staff member. It soon became my full time passion and career! After leaving university I started working for Heart of England Mencap in a domicilary care setting for adults with learning disabilities as well as ILEAP. In July 2016 I joined Time Out; I love the incredibly welcoming atmosphere created at sessions and the fantastic energy the children we support have. I used to work as a TA in a local special needs primary school but now I am training to become a paramedic.
Charlie Careless
Hi, I’m Charlie. I started working at Time Out at the beginning of March 2017. The group is so friendly and the young people are great! I’m a Community Learning Disability Nurse based in Leamington. I also work part time at ILEAP charity and with a family offering day care support. In my spare time I love walking my dog, Buster, and spending time with my family.
Jackie Sabatowski
I have been part of the Time Out Team since 2009. I started supporting the young people at Calvert Trust as a volunteer, working my way up to being a full time member of the team in 2014. I have also worked at Welcombe Hills School. The Time Out Group gives me the opportunity to work with the youngsters in a less formal and more social atmosphere than school. I believe this enables me and the whole group to enhance the young people’s social life and independence, therefore growing into adults who are a credit to themselves.
Hayleigh Smith
Hi I'm Hayleigh ☺️ Before working with the Time Out Group, I previously worked within a Day Nursery as part of the Senior Management Team.
I have always enjoyed working with children with additional needs and wanted to broaden my knowledge and understanding of children with more complex needs and disabilities. I thank the Time Out Group for giving me that opportunity.
I absolutely love working as part of the team with the other staff and children. The time out group really does support the children's social skill, which is a joy to watch. Due to enjoying this job, I now also work as a teaching assistant within a special needs school.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and going for long country walks with my dog Rose.
Izzy Yeoman
Hi, I’m Izzy, I started working for the Timeout Group in September 2020 and really enjoy it. It’s fulfilling helping the kids to have fun and socialise.
I have only recently started to work closely supporting young individuals with learning and physical disabilities and I find the role very rewarding. I’m hoping to go on to study counselling and become a qualified counsellor.
In my spare time I enjoy running and spending time with my two cats, Mini and Jess.
