Trusted to care

A closely-knit team of managers, carers, nurses and support colleagues – and each of us is dedicated to your loved one’s care, health and wellbeing.

I’ve always worked in residential care – my first job was as an administration and finance assistant at a care home. That was in the late 1980s. Over the years I’ve gained experience of many of the roles within a care home, from care assistant to finance manager. I’ve been a care home manager since 2005 and have managed a number of homes in and around the north east of England.

My approach as a manager is to make sure every resident is cared for in the same way that you’d care for a member of your own family. I spend as much time as I can with residents, chatting with them in the lounges and dining areas. I have a policy that I spend some time every morning saying hello and catching up with everyone before I get stuck into work.
