Elaine Reader
Telephone Triage Worker

Elaine has always been passionate about supporting both children and young people with SEND, and their carers. In her previous jobs, Elaine worked in a variety of support/ teaching roles in schools, homes and various community settings. Her last position was with Wiltshire Portage. “It was a privilege to be welcomed into peoples' homes in my role as a Portage Home Visitor and to be part of a child’s learning journey”.

Elaine has a strong commitment to supporting all parent carers in their roles. “If I can provide people with any information, no matter how small or just be that friendly voice on the end of the phone helping to unpick the complicated web of services available, then I will be satisfied. Being a parent carer myself, I really appreciate how frustrating and confusing it can feel at times!”
