Pendle Brook Care Home

I’m the Registered Manager of Pendle Brook Care Home and have worked in the care sector since 2007. I started my journey as a care assistant at the age of 17, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for supporting others and making a real difference in people’s lives.
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care, and I lead with a firm but fair approach. I believe in setting high standards while also creating a supportive, positive environment for both residents and staff. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is helping team members grow and achieve their own goals and aspirations within the care profession.
Care isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly believe in. My aim is to ensure that Pendle Brook is not only a place of safety and dignity for our residents but also a place where they feel genuinely valued and cared for.

With over 19 years of experience in the care sector, I began my journey with Rochcare in 2018 as a Carer at one of our sister homes and joined Pendle Brook in 2020. Since then, I have progressed through the roles of Senior Carer and Team Leader, and now proudly serve as Deputy Manager. I hold both Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care. During my time as Team Leader, our team was honoured to be regional finalists at The Great British Care Awards—a testament to the dedication and passion we bring to our work.
Pendle Brook is more than just a workplace; we consider ourselves a family, and that sense of warmth and community is felt by everyone who walks through our doors. I find my role incredibly rewarding and feel privileged to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the residents who call Pendle Brook home. Equally, I take great pride in supporting our dedicated staff—encouraging their development, fostering growth in their careers, and working together to deliver the highest standard of care.

I began my journey at Pendle Brook in 2022 as a carer, progressing to Senior Carer and now Team Leader. I am currently working towards my Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care and serve as the Medication Champion for the home. I’m passionate about supporting my colleagues and fostering a positive team environment. For me, the residents are the highlight of every shift—their warmth and personalities make each day truly rewarding.

I joined Pendle Brook in June 2022 as my first role in a care home, bringing with me a strong passion for providing exceptional care. Holding a Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care, I have steadily advanced from Carer to Senior Carer. In addition to my caregiving responsibilities, I serve as the Skin Integrity Champion, focusing on enhancing residents’ comfort and well-being. I am dedicated to supporting residents in leading fulfilling lives, and I am proud to be part of a highly skilled and collaborative team.

With over 35 years of experience in care sector catering, I have progressed from a kitchen assistant to my current role as Kitchen Manager. I joined Pendle Brook in 2019 and take great pride in delivering high-quality, freshly prepared meals tailored to the individual needs of our residents. I have extensive knowledge of special diets and allergens, and I am committed to maintaining the highest standards in food safety and nutrition. I also value the opportunity to engage with residents, regularly discussing menu ideas to ensure our meals are both enjoyable and inclusive.
