Caitlin Rodgers

I joined Changes in August 2019, my role involves leading the operations of the charity, supporting the staff team, working with the the Board of Trustees, volunteers, funders and members of the East Lothian community.

Throughout my career I have worked in the third sector, starting out in front line support roles and moving into project coordination, leadership and management. I graduated in Criminology and Sociology at the University of Stirling and have since worked in crime prevention, homelessness and addiction recovery. Before joining Changes, I led a Befriending Programme supporting migrants and refugees resettling in Scotland. This highlighted for me, all we gain from living within and celebrating diversity in our communities.

I have a personal interest in counselling. Gaining my certificate in Counselling Skills has been one of my most powerful learning opportunities to date, both on a personal and professional level. Supporting and promoting positive mental health and wellbeing has been a common thread throughout my career to date. Self care and wellness is something I am passionate about (for myself and for others). When I’m not working I’m often out running or cycling in the Pentlands (foothills only!) and enjoying the beautiful East Lothian coastline.
