Alison Bulman was educated in Swansea and began work as a teenager in a local care home. She has developed her wide-ranging industry knowledge through 30 years’ experience in social care, including service Director roles in Buckinghamshire and Cornwall. She started as Director of Powys County Council Social Services in May 2018, adding Workforce and Organisational Development to her responsibilities in November 2020. She has been described as ‘very much a people-person and highly focussed on delivering results ‘with’ people as opposed ‘to’ people… Ali’s comprehensive knowledge of Social Care is a huge asset, but she is always willing to listen to alternative ideas as well as decide and direct [when necessary]’.
