Sarah Bigler

National Operations Manager

As the National Operations Manager, I oversee StreetDoctors’ national delivery, ensuring our programmes are delivered consistently and to the highest standard. I work closely with partners, staff and volunteers to expand our reach, develop new projects and help the organisation grow its impact for young people across the UK.

Why StreetDoctors?

My whole career has been about prevention and root-cause work with young people, helping them build the skills and confidence to stay safe before harm happens. StreetDoctors does exactly that, and I love how it puts young people at the centre of the solution, not framing them as the problem. I’m excited to bring what I’ve learned from national programme delivery to a cause I care deeply about.

What’s your background?

I have previously studied and graduated with a degree in Youth and Community Work (BA) from Cardiff Metropolitan University. Throughout my studies I undertook two placements; one within a local authority youth service and one within a voluntary sector organisation which gave me the opportunity to support young people from a wide range of backgrounds, contexts and life experiences.

What are your interests outside of work?

I love watching films and try to go to the cinema at least once a week. I will watch any genre and used to be the president of the animated film society whilst in university. I also love being creative and at least half of my earring collection is handmade.
