We're a small team who are passionate about affecting positive change for people with social, emotional and mental health needs.
We're really friendly, lots of fun and we like to keep things as chilled as possible. We also love a game of pool on the NXT table, a few rounds of UNO or some four-player Mario Kart!
Meet Katie, the co-founder at NXT Skills. As the Registered Manager, she's the driving force behind our vocational programmes and the guardian of our young people's development and well-being.
With her first-class degree from Winchester Uni and a background as a teacher and school photographer, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.
Katie's passion for helping young people reach their full potential is what drove her to make NXT Skills a reality. She's committed to providing the best possible opportunities and support for our young people and works tirelessly to make that happen.
Katie's also a bundle of energy and can usually be found singing, laughing, or sipping on a cup of tea.
Matt is co-founder and General Manager at NXT. He oversees day-to-day operations, and he's across everything from marketing and social media to mentoring, coaching, and personal development.
With nearly 15 years experience in design, creative, and management roles, he's the go-to guy for most things at the NXT Skills Hub.
Matt is also a bit of a digital wizard, leading our digital design sessions - but you can also find him providing support across all workshops, from carpentry to cooking to bricklaying.
Matt loves gaming and can be found offering advice and tips on the Playstation or Switch. He also loves a game of pool and fancies himself as the best player at NXT - something that our young people like to test!
Izabela is Senior Support Worker at NXT and plays a key role in driving our young people's vocational programmes, providing guidance and support for their social and emotional development.
With her background in Forensic Psychology and over 4 years of experience working with children and young adults, she's more than equipped to take on any challenge.
She's passionate about helping our young people achieve their goals.
She leads our Life Skills sessions with great enthusiasm and she's also an expert in the kitchen and an arts & crafts master - so she oversees those programmes too!
Meet Don, Support Worker and the master of all trades in our workshop!
From mechanics to plumbing, to carpentry, and even bike maintenance — you name it, Don can probably do it. His wide range of practical skills makes him indispensable to both our team and the young people we support.
But Don's expertise doesn't stop there. He's also a gifted artist with a sharp creative eye.
What truly sets Don apart, though, is his passion for working with and supporting our young people to build the skills they need to take their next step in life.
Malin is the Team NXT pup and loves cuddles and kisses. She's super caring and is brilliant at forming bonds with our young people when they first arrive, helping them to feel settled.
She's a giant baby at heart and prone to a bout of the zoomies!
