Staff team

Laura Littlehales

Hello I’m Laura, Chief Executive. I started my big career as an inner city teacher and for the last 10 years I have worked in the education charity sector. I am motivated by supporting young people to reach their potential and helping them achieve their chosen aspiration. I feel privileged to be delivering MyBigCareer’s mission, working with our staff team and volunteers to empower under-represented young people to be positive change makers in their own lives. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my young family and playing netball.

Jayne Lyell

Hello, I’m Jayne, Programme Manager, and my big career has been in teaching. I taught French and Spanish in the secondary sector for 12 years before becoming a primary school teacher. I love inspiring youngsters to dream big, by delivering creative and engaging programmes which open their eyes to the many opportunities available to them. As a North East girl, I love nothing more than enjoying days out on our beautiful coastline with my family at the weekend. I also enjoy keeping fit and like to start my day with a yoga or HIT session.
