Sondra Butterworth began her professional career as a general nurse. She studied for a degree in Psychology and gained the Post Graduated Certificate in Education. She began working in the field of Moving and Handling over 10 years ago, where she was able to expand her training and facilitation skills by developing a number of training courses relating to Moving and Handling.
Sondra found herself in the unique position of being able to study for a Masters degree in psychology, while working as a Moving and Handling Co-ordinator in a Mental Health Trust, where she developed a specific interest in Moving and Handling in a variety of challenging situations.
Sondra’s first appointment as a Moving and Handling Co-ordinator was over 10 years ago, where she discovered that she needed to build on traditional methods of handling by introducing psychological approaches.
