Simon graduated in 1993 from the University of Leicester with a BSc degree that was three quarters physics and one quarter physical geography. After that, he moved to the University of Salford, where he gained an MSc in environmental management, and a PhD on environmental management in the electricity industry. He then worked as a journalist for over 4 years on The ENDS Report, the leading UK journal of environmental management and business, before starting teaching Academic English. He had announced his departure from the Alzheimer's Society in September 2019, and in December 2019 the Society announced that Kate Lee from CLIC Sargent would become its next chief executive from April. As an educationalist, Peter is particularly interested in principles of curriculum design and development, especially exploring how teachers’ philosophies and experiences translate into pedagogical practice. He tries to bring a considered, student-centred approach to his own teaching and is always open to new ideas and practises in education.

Unite regional officer Peter Storey said: “This is an excellent result that has been achieved by the tremendous solidarity and determination of our members. The recent surge in membership demonstrated just how concerned workers were about low pay at Shelter.This is further proof of how Unite’s unflinching focus on jobs, pay and conditions is delivering substantial financial benefits for its members.” Growing membership On the Pre-Sessional course Simon teaches postgraduate students who are just about to start studying at the University, helping them prepare for challenge of studying in a foreign culture. On the In-Sessional course, he supervises undergraduates, postgraduates and post-docs from all Cambridge departments and colleges, although he specialises in teaching scientists. He was also the main teacher on short academic English courses for visiting Chinese university students run by the China UK Development Council. Outside the Language Centre, he supervises undergraduates at Gonville and Caius College in academic skills.

A spokesperson for Samaritans said:“Samaritans doesn’t recognise the claims made by Unite. The welfare of our staff and volunteers within a positive and inclusive working culture is of the upmost importance to Samaritans.” Timeline of Samaritans chief executive appointment
