An introduction to Sharon Nobbs, Staff Governor

Read our first Governor profile as part of our monthly Stakeholder Newsletter, this month, we take a look at Sharon Nobbs, one of our Staff Governors.

With only 3 years working at Humber, I have already seen many connections from the Education Sector where my previous training and work originates. With a passionate interest in staff wellbeing and valuing the importance of a healthy and happy work home-life balance, I am interested to learn more about the Health Care Sector and / the vision and views the Trust hold. I decided to stand as Staff Governor so I could not only gain a better understanding of division structures and strategic goals, but to also have the opportunity to engage with a range of stakeholders in ensuring the views and wishes of both staff and patients are represented and remain an important factor in decision-making for the Trust.

Previous to work in the NHS, I was a Curriculum Area Leader of Music in a Secondary School for 18 years. I play the Piano, love to Sing and have a basic ability in playing the Drum Kit and Bass Guitar. I love spending time with my family- especially our dog Millie. I enjoy psychological documentaries and thrillers and am also a fan of horror films. I enjoy learning and am always up for new courses or projects. I joined the Trust under the Voluntary Services team and very much enjoyed the opportunity to connect with service users and feel I had made a difference. I am currently on secondment in the Partnerships & Strategy team, and am loving the new challenge and embracing the opportunities to make connections with so many different people. I love getting involved in anything creative and engaging with others. My approach to everything usually begins with a creative mindset.
