Meet the Sheltered
Housing Officer: Linda Hudspith
"Hello, my name is Linda and I have been a Sheltered Housing
Officer for over 8 years for Your Homes Newcastle. Before that I
worked for Anchor Housing in a similar role so I found it really
easy to settle into my new job when I came here.
I love working at Coniston Court as it feels like I spend my day
with my neighbours and friends because everyone is so friendly.
It’s a very close community with a great spirit and there’s
something going on somewhere in the building virtually every
day.
If I had to describe myself I would say that I was outgoing, calm
in an emergency, and a very caring “hands on” kind of
person."
Interesting fact: "I love refurbishing dolls houses and I
often spend my spare time at fairs looking for furniture and
decorations to 'do them up'."
