Holyrood House

Upon leaving school I immediately started my career in care. I have been a registered manager in a number of care establishments for the past 27 years. I love my job as I have always enjoyed meeting people and helping others. In my spare time I enjoy following my football team Barnsley FC and supporting guide dogs for the blind.

Since leaving college I have always worked within the care sector. I have worked in Holyrood House for 9 years, throughout my time here I have had a number of roles progressing from a Team Leader to my current role of Deputy Manager, working alongside the Home Manager to lead and support the team. Crown Care have given me the opportunities to progress further within my career.

Holyrood is one of the best teams I have worked for within the care sector, every member of staff genuinely cares and strives to deliver a high standard of care for each resident. There is also a great support network within the team, there is always a laugh to be had and ear for listening. It is a pleasure to be a part of team Holyrood!
