Cassie is a registered Paediatric Nurse, who moved from the Manchester School Nursing Team to Healthy Schools to start the role of Healthy Lifestyles Lead. The experience and knowledge gained from being a School Nurse has made Cassie incredibly aware of the importance of encouraging and enabling children to live a Healthy Lifestyle. Cassie is passionate about supporting schools to create a whole school community approach to Healthy Lifestyles to improve the lives and health of our children and young people. In response to Manchester’s high rates of childhood obesity and poor oral health, Cassie will be developing resources, delivering training, and supporting Manchester Schools to increase physical activity, promote healthy eating and improve oral health. Cassie is keen to continue our partnership with the School Nurses to deliver the best support possible for Schools. Outside of work, Cassie enjoys teaching and learning swing dance, sewing and reading.
