Rachel Kirk

Rachel’s career began in childcare, focused on children with additional needs, and then progressed into housing where she worked as a Housing Officer for a homeless hub. A house move to Northampton brought her to the area and she took up her current role at Keystage. “It’s perfect for me. Throughout my life I’ve focused on the areas of safeguarding and mental health which led me to want to work with vulnerable people. I enjoy being able to help develop people’s independent living skills and build their confidence ready for them to move on successfully.”

Rachel was keen to work with Keystage Housing after meeting some of its staff who always presented as knowledgeable about the people they were supporting. “I was also intrigued about Keystage’s philosophy. Whereas other services are very rental and tenancy focused, Keystage is focused on a holistic approach to the individual, which promotes a more stable, future outcome built around what works for that person.”

Rachel began as Service Administrator in our Northampton service, before moving into the Operations Team and then onto the Strategy and Development Team.
