Meet our staff

Smart Works is driven by a dynamic and passionate staff team working across 12 UK centres.

We all share the same mission of delivering the Smart Works service to women who need it most. Through the power of interview coaching and high-quality interview clothing, we help unemployed women get into work and change the trajectory of their lives.

Senior Leadership Team 

Head of Smart Works Greater Manchester
Lisa Howarth
“When I first heard about Smart Works, I couldn’t believe something like this existed. To give the gift of confidence to a woman is such a powerful and transformative thing, and I feel privileged to be part of that transformation. Watching women leave our centres with a beaming smile and new found sense of self-belief is just magical.”
Fundraising and Partnerships Manager
Louisa Hussey
I’ve always been passionate about supporting women with their confidence, so this role at Smart Works is really exciting. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in, and doing my part to raise funds to keep this incredible charity going. Please do message me if you have a Women’s Network within your organisation that could potentially support us”
