Marlborough Lodge

I'm proud to manage and lead the staff team at Marlborough Lodge and I believe in maintaining a good working relationship with both the service users their family and friends is a valid contribution to the successful running of our home.

With over 22 years of experience in the care sector, I have developed a strong foundation in providing exceptional care and support. I joined Marlborough Lodge in 2015, where I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to improving the quality of life for individuals in need of care. I hold an NVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care and earned a degree in Mental Health from the Open University. In 2023, I successfully completed my NVQ Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership, further enhancing my skills in leading and managing care teams effectively.

Prior to my career in the care sector, I served as a Police Officer, which provided me with valuable interpersonal, problem-solving, and crisis-management skills that have been transferable to my work in health and social care.

With a rich background in administration and bookkeeping, I embarked on a new journey in the health and social care sector 8 years ago. I currently serve at Marlborough Lodge, where I have found my work to be incredibly rewarding.

This career change came after the birth of my four beautiful daughters. It was a shift that allowed me to leverage my organizational skills in a field that makes a real difference in people’s lives.

In my leisure time, I find solace in the simple pleasures of life. I am an avid reader, always on the lookout for a good book. I enjoy walking in my spare time. However, nothing compares to the joy I derive from spending quality time with my family. Their support and love have been my constant companions, shaping the person I am today.

In every aspect of my life, I strive to bring empathy and diligence, whether it’s in my professional role in health and social care or in my personal life as a mother and a family-oriented individual.

In October 2023, I joined the team at Marlborough Lodge, where I continue to apply my expertise and dedication. Outside of my professional life, I am a proud mother of two, successfully balancing my career with the joys and responsibilities of motherhood. I enjoy a range of activities including walking, reading, talking, and cycling, which not only keep me active but also provide me with time for introspection and relaxation. For me, family and friends are of utmost importance, and I cherish the time spent with them. Through all these experiences, I continue to grow and evolve, both personally and professionally.

With a diverse professional background, I have spent over two decades in the retail industry before deciding to pivot towards a more fulfilling career. The switch to health and social care at Marlborough Lodge has been a rewarding journey, allowing me to make a significant impact on people’s lives.

I find immense satisfaction in empowering others to help themselves, a testament to my belief in the potential of every individual. This change from retail to social care has not only been a career change but a personal transformation that aligns with my values and aspirations.

In my downtime, I enjoy the thrill of exploring new places. These moments of leisure provide a balance to my busy professional life.
