Service Children

Hannah Dent

Supporting young people to reach their full potential is something I have always been passionate about. Before joining Hillingdon Council, I spent Five years working as a Primary School Teacher in Buckinghamshire, where I also completed my teacher training and gained valuable experience as a Learning Support Assistant. Prior to my career in education, I worked as a Support Worker in a CAMHS eating disorder hospital after completing my Psychology degree.

I have always been passionate about supporting young people to achieve their full potential. I’m excited to champion the needs of Service children across the borough and bring with me a breadth of experience from both education and mental health settings.

Before joining Hillingdon Council, I served as a Police Officer, spending my later years as a Safer Schools Officer working closely with schools, pupils and families to help keep children safe and supported. This experience gave me a strong, practical understanding of the challenges schools face. Having also left the military myself several years ago, I’m looking forward to using my experience to support service children across the borough, helping them feel settled, supported and heard—especially during these turbulent times.
