Brightt was founded by independent social worker, Amanda Clarke. At that point, Amanda was just a sole trader, and the organisation was called, Future-U. Amanda decided that she wanted to work with more people and create a fun work environment (because it can be boring on your own). So now we are Brightt and we always accept new referrals for Specialist Support Coordination, Support Coordination and Positive Behaviour Support.
Hi, I’m a social worker and I’ve worked in child protection and disability areas for over 20 years. I have two dogs and five cats – it probably means I’m getting to the stage of being labeled a cat lady, but don’t hold it against me. My superpower is navigating systems and finding out what we need to know to get past a problem.
With over 18 years’ experience in the hospitality industry I have dedicated my career to leading people. I am fascinated with how people think and learn. 2020 has created a unique opportunity for me to use my personal experience within the disability sector and my passion for leading people to assist FutureU as the Business Operations Manager.
