Quality Assurance Manager
Karen Nelson
Karen has been with SOEL for 23 years in a variety of roles, from lead educator our babies and toddlers rooms, before becoming Assistant Director at our centres before becoming the Nominated Supervisor/Manager at West Leederville SOEL.
In 2012 Karen became Quality Assurance Manager for SOEL; after a growing need for Quality Assurance in our centres emerged. In the meantime, Karen continued with training by completing an Advanced Diploma in Early Childcare services, HACCP, Certificate 1V in training and Assessment, Certificate 1V in Work Health and Safety and a Diploma of Quality Auditing.
The learnt knowledge of SOEL from the ground up has given Karen the ability to transform thoughts into practice because she has lived the SOEL experience from the inception of the Reggio Emilia Approach, being embedded into practice and children breaking new ground. Karen has delivered Manual Handling in face-to-face workshops since 2015.
Karen is involved in policy and procedure development, compliance management and overseeing the food safety programs within SOEL and is the validator for EYE Training.
