Lucy O’Hare

I am the Training Manager here at HIT, so I’m responsible for putting together our annual training programme and liaising with our customers and trainers to set up commissioned courses. My days involve a LOT of emails back and forth, writing evaluation reports and putting training packs together, amongst other things!

I’ve been at HIT since 2009 and I feel very lucky to do the job that I do, and in such a lovely working environment. I also love having the opportunity to go to conferences and meet lots of new people – for instance I was lucky enough to go to the International Harm Reduction Conference in Lithuania.

Before I started at HIT, I spent a couple of years in Australia and New Zealand on a Working Holiday visa, and before that I studied French at Leeds University. When I’m not working, I enjoy camping (mostly in Wales) and going to festivals, and I love riding my bike along Liverpool’s beautiful waterfront. I have also developed a recent obsession with dehydrating fruit and vegetables, and my ambition for this year is to start learning the violin again, 15 years after giving it up!
