Cat Andersson has joined the John Schofield Trust in the new role of Operations Manager, focused on managing our mentoring programmes.

With a background spanning education, training, accessibility in the arts and service management, Cat was most recently co-ordinating frontline refugee services in Liverpool at a grassroots community charity.

Cat commented: “I’ve spent my career working towards accessibility and equity in different contexts, because it matters to me that everyone gets the chance to tell their own story. I’m thrilled to be joining JST at such an exciting time and can’t wait to meet all the mentors and mentees!”.

Howard Littler, the Trust’s Director, said: “We are delighted to have Cat join us and add much-needed capacity to the team. She brings a lot of experience, and her passion for our mission came across clearly in the interviews.”
