Solent Cliffs Nursing Home

I began my career in care at the age of 18 at Solent Cliffs Nursing Home, where my passion for nursing first took root. I went on to train as a nurse at London South Bank University; once qualified, I gained valuable experience as a stroke nurse at King’s College Hospital. After two years in the fast-paced environment of a London hospital, I returned to the South and joined the cardiac intensive care team at Southampton University Hospital. I later returned to Solent Cliffs as a registered general nurse before stepping into my first managerial role at another nursing home, where I earned my NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management. Following this, I worked at Beechwood, another Beneva home, where I progressed from RGN to clinical lead and eventually deputy manager. When the opportunity arose to return to Solent Cliffs as manager, I felt a strong calling to come back to the place where my journey began. I am deeply passionate about delivering person-centred care, fostering a positive workplace culture, and ensuring all residents—regardless of age—can live with dignity and comfort. I also enjoy mentoring staff and promoting growth within the team. The home at Solent Cliffs benefits from a wide variety of experience and a rich, multicultural background, something I value deeply, as it brings diverse perspectives and strengthens the care they provide. Read less
