Who's Listening

Hi, I’m Jane, I am team leader for the YEP! project, supporting the fantastic team that we have whose passion and commitment to improving young people’s lives is phenomenal. I cover the whole of Cornwall, meeting as many of the young people that we work with as I possibly can. My background is in education and I love helping young people to explore the opportunities available, expand their horizons and find their futures. I have travelled a lot, lived in several different countries and this allows me to share my experiences with people and get them to think outside the box and realise their potential when they are making decisions about their career pathway. I am also a cycling coach, have a motorbike and I love the ocean, paddle boarding and swimming

I am Tim, I work covering the mid Cornwall area. I have recently taken the role of Business engagement and strategy lead for the Yep! project. I am inspired by linking people to natural environments and pushing for a society which values inclusion and sustainable economic growth. I am a keen surfer, curious soul and true people person who has worked on and managed many projects exclusively focussing on or combining education, training, wellbeing and mental health, adventure sports, environmental growth, the circular economy and business incubation.

‘Hi, I’m Catherine, and I cover Mid Cornwall for the YEP project. I’m passionate about guiding young people in education and careers, helping them take confident steps into the workplace. My goal is to empower them to believe in themselves and show them that their ambitions—both in life and career—are achievable, no matter the challenges they face. Together, we’ll navigate any barriers and find ways to make those goals a reality.

Before working with young people, I spent time working on boats and airplanes, but it’s in Cornwall where my heart feels most at home. Outside of work, I love spending time with my two cats, Monty and Simba, and I never miss an opportunity to enjoy a refreshing cold-water swim!’

‘Hi, I’m Jo, and I cover both North and East Cornwall for the Yep! project. Before joining Yep!, I worked in secondary education as a Careers Lead. My passion is supporting young people who are determined to get back into education or the workforce. I’m here to help them navigate their next steps and unlock new opportunities, no matter what challenges they may face. Additionally, I am an Armed Forces veteran, an enthusiastic Exeter Chiefs supporter, and an avid lover of the sea. In my spare time, you can often find me walking along the beach with my best friend, Harry the Sprocker .’

'Hello, I’m Julie, and I proudly cover West Cornwall for the Yep! project. With a background in HR and Individual Placement and Support (IPS), I’m committed to helping people achieve their goals, whether by reigniting ambitions or turning passions into achievements. 

In my role with Yep!, I’m dedicated to supporting individuals in West Cornwall as they pursue meaningful paths, offering guidance, encouragement, and practical help to those ready for their next step. 

Outside of work, I’m an adventure enthusiast who loves exploring Cornwall’s beauty, especially on long walks with my dogs.’
