YOU Leadership Team

Hayley Connor

Group Chief Executive

Hayley Connor, Group Chief Executive

I am a dynamic and innovative leader with a passion for delivering outcomes that count! The common thread that defines my career development is a focus on empowering people to make a difference to their own lives and that of their communities.

Jane Cracknell

Group Director People, Culture and Organisational Development

Jane Cracknell, Group Director People, Culture and Organisational Development

Jane has over 20 years’ experience of working at YOU and in the HR profession and is incredibly proud to be in the position she is today. A trained mediator, Jane’s passion is creating a culture and working environment where everyone can thrive. Jane actively champions removing the stigma around talking about mental health and promoting the message that everyone should be able to talk about their mental health as openly as they do about their physical health.

Paul Taylor-Toms

Group Director of Finance

Paul Taylor-Toms, Group Director of Finance

Paul is a creative, driven and forward thinking qualified chartered accountant with over 15 years experience in finance operations. He takes great enjoyment in providing well presented information and being involved in the ‘reasons why’ behind financial numbers, working out why some things tick and others don’t.

Tonia Redvers

Director of Operations and Business Development

Tonia Redvers, Director of Operations and Business Development

I have worked at YOU since 2012, starting as a refuge manager, leading the development of Paragon domestic abuse services, our Young Lives team and our wonderful counselling teams. I am thrilled to be a YOU Director, focussed on all aspects of operations and developing YOU as an organisation. I love what I do, I love where I work, and the people I work with. I love using my skills, knowledge and experience to guide and influence practice. I am a mother with four children. All have left home now, which means my wife and I have more time to spend doing what we love, dog walking and visiting friends and family.

Phillip Freed

Director of Operations and Business Development

Phillip Freed, Director of Operations and Business Development

Philip has worked in the care sector for 21 years. He started as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities and later moved to working with children, young adults and families.

He graduated in 2010 from the University of Portsmouth with a degree in social work but takes the approach that leaning is life-long. There is always a new skill or lesson that can be learnt.

Philip has a passion for the work he does, focusing on what is important to people, working alongside them and supporting them to thrive.

YOU Extended Leadership Team

Samantha Slydell

Group Assistant Director of People, Culture and Organisational Development

Samantha Slydell, Group Assistant Director of People, Culture and Organisational Development

My career in HR began following a fascination with the law and my natural penchant for puzzles and problem solving, which continues to this day. A passion for supporting employees to undertake their roles and realise their potential developed as I grew in the profession, as well as admiring the incredible work and vision required to thrive in the not-for-profit sector.

With two decades of experience working in all aspects of HR; including recruitment, employee relations, TUPE, learning & development, payroll, and regulatory compliance; sometimes it can feel as though there is little I haven’t come across. That’s, of course, not the case though and anyone who knows me knows that I believe in continuous learning and love a challenge. In fact, my motto for life is that “every day’s a school day”.

As a pet owner and a lover of food, good company and travelling, I enjoy getting out and about, meeting new people, and sharing in new and exciting experiences. All of which I like to try and channel back into my work enthusiastically in some way or another!

Steve Almond

Assistant Director of Care, Support and Community Wellbeing

Steve Almond, Assistant Director of Care, Support and Community Wellbeing

Steve started working in the care sector as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities. He’s been in the industry for 30 years, 25 of those with The YOU Trust. Steve is a Registered Manager with CQC and an accredited CPI instructor with the Crisis Development Institute delivering training across the organisation. Steve enjoys working with our teams to create opportunities for people to help them live the way they choose.
