He has acted as the Supporting People lead officer for a Housing Association with a £1.5 million Supporting People grant income. Client groups included the elderly, young people, single homelessness, learning disabilities, mental health, domestic violence and drugs / alcohol. He has coordinated work on ensuring that the Association prepared for interim contract reviews, taking personal responsibility for the core service objective "Protection from abuse"
As well as line managing care and nursing home managers, he has fulfilled the responsibility of named proprietor, and developed a quality audit system to ensure compliance with the National Minimum Standards.
Before coming into the care and support sector his background involved public speaking and work in secondary school education. He is still regularly involved in public speaking outside of his primary work as a trainer.

Nigel has run training courses across England & Scotland and also trains the trainers for a leading Abuse Awareness charity. He sits on a National Housing Association's Management Board and chairs their Housing Management Committee.
Faiers Conferences is run by Denise Faiers, who organises a number of one day open courses each year. The open courses allow organisations to book one or more places for staff, rather than needing sufficient numbers to run an inhouse session.
- A one - day course lasts approximately seven hours including a short lunch break (e.g. 9:30am to 4:30pm). Two day programmes and half day refresher courses are also available. Half day courses can be held in the morning or afternoon and last for three hours.
- The one day course work and style of participation best suits a group of between eight and sixteen participants
- A one day course costs £575 per day plus travel @ 40p per mile (& overnight accommodation/meals if required). The price is fully inclusive of all preparation and handouts. No VAT is added. A half day course costs £325 plus travel costs etc., or £575 plus costs if two half day courses are run on the same date.
- Faiers Training works closely with the client to ensure that the course reflects your organisation's way of working and any policies and procedures you already have in place.
Faiers Training firmly believes in the statement that you retain:
- 10% of what you hear
