Clara Spence

Full Time Family Support Worker

I have six years’ experience working as a Mental Health Project Worker, as well as a Team Leader supporting people with learning disabilities and complex needs. I still spend my weekends working in both mental health and learning disability services, as I love being a familiar face in people’s lives and supporting them through different stages of their journey.

I’ve completed my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care, and have also volunteered as a Youth Worker and as a Tutor for young people at the Belfast Hospital School.

I’m really passionate about helping others—whether that’s through offering practical support, providing information, or just being someone to chat to. I feel very lucky to be part of HDANI and to be working alongside such a dedicated team and community.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at a Pilates class, out on a walk, reading, or getting stuck into a new DIY project. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone better and expanding my knowledge of Huntington’s Disease!
