Meet The Team
Our dedicated team

Jo Adshead
Executive Director
I am so proud to work here at Link-Ability. It’s the people who make it, and that’s everyone – those who work as part of Link-Ability team, the families and professionals who share our aims but most of all it’s the people we support. Knowing that they’re living the lives to the fullest and supporting them towards this is such a massive privilege. To be able to call this my work is never something I take for granted.

Jane Martin
Assistant Director
I am fortunate to have progressed my career in health and social care since joining Link-Ability in 2015. The organisation has grown over the years yet retained the same local feel that I found appealing when I first joined, including the warmth and support in our team that makes the real difference in how it feels to work here.
