David H

I am a 36-year-old father of two with a lifelong passion for empowering others and making a positive impact in people’s lives. My professional journey began in East London, where I developed strong values of community, resilience, and hard work—principles that have guided me through an accomplished career as a professional athlete and later as a successful entrepreneur.

Throughout my athletic career, I had the privilege of working closely with individuals from all walks of life. These experiences taught me the importance of empathy, communication, and the power of mentorship. I bring these qualities into my work in personal care and social support, where I thrive in one-on-one settings and pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships.

I have spent many years living and working in the United States, collaborating with local authorities, schools, and community clubs to develop programs that promote positive change in the lives of young people. Much of this work has focused on supporting neurodiverse young adults, helping them navigate challenges and build confidence in their own abilities. I’ve found that my ability to listen without judgment, maintain a calm and encouraging presence, and adapt to individual needs has been instrumental in creating safe and empowering environments.

As someone who is deeply self-motivated, I bring high energy and a proactive mindset to every role I undertake. I believe in the importance of leading by example—whether it’s encouraging a young person to try something new or simply showing up with kindness and consistency each day. I’m practical, organized, and fully committed to the dignity and independence of the individuals I support.

Now based in East Sussex, I am seeking to bring my skills, lived experience, and passion for care into a role where I can make a meaningful difference. I understand the local community, and I am enthusiastic about contributing to a service that values respect, inclusion, and compassion.
