Jane Gaughan
Land Coordinator

I've had a long and distinguished career as a Domestic Engineer during which time I went to college and then to University as a Student Mental Health Nurse. Unfortunately, I had to leave as my son was diagnosed with Severe Specific Learning Difficulties.

I later returned to college to learn to turn on a computer and to retake all my secretarial qualifications, which  I'd previously taken on a manual typewriter! I qualified in 2000 as an Executive Assistant.

I then worked as an EA at Executive Director level for the NHS, where I obtained a huge amount of experience working as part of a team in an exceedingly high pressure position. 

After leaving I decided to branch out and develop my skills further and obtained a position in local government as PA to the Head of Planning.  I find the planning system fascinating and with the current focus on reform, I consider this to be a particularly exciting time to be involved in the process.

I'm relishing the opportunity to apply all of my acquired skills into my new role as Land Coordinator.
