Dora Rose Care Home

I’m Julie, and I live in Tamworth. I am the owner of a 15-year-old tortie cat, Chrystal. She was a rescue cat at 6 months old. I love animals, and due to this, I am heavily involved in fundraising for a local animal rescue charity. I help organise fundraising events, support with cat homing visits and help with the transportation of donations to various local animal charities.

I was a holiday rep with Thomas Cook for 10 years. I have worked in many countries across the Mediterranean, Spain, Italy and Greece, to name a few. I have done a variety of roles working abroad, everything from looking after children in a kids club to taking adults on a bar crawl and meet/greet at the airport. This was a job I loved, as every 6-8 months I could change destination, and it inspired my love of travelling. Now that I live back in the UK, I look forward to my holidays and always look for new experiences or new destinations.

I have worked in the care industry for the last 15 years. I started in Domiciliary care before going to work at Good Hope Hospital for 9 years. I worked in a variety of departments, which I loved and learnt so much. I have since worked in areas involving Challenging behaviour, mental health and specialist Dementia nursing homes.

I am proud to be working at Macc Care and looking forward to the new challenges ahead, as well as meeting loads more new people.

I am proud to be the manager at Dora Rose Care Home.

Over the last 29 years, I have worked as a Registered Nurse in both the NHS and Health and Social Care. I have a background in adult nursing and Public Health. I have a passion for creating person-centred care within the care service.

I have worked as a domestic assistant for 20+ years, with my last 5 years here at Dora Rose.
I have a passion for cleaning and being a member of a team.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, my dogs and our vacations.

I am a farmer's daughter and still like to farm when I have time.
I have two grown-up children, Harry and Georgia. I live locally in a small village called Bednall.

I have worked with Macc Care at Dora Rose for 3 months now.

My background is in web design and care work, which I still do. I'm fairly new to maintenance, but am very much enjoying it and how much I've learned already.

I am local to the Staffordshire area. I spend my free time finding new places to go with my little boy, and in the summer, you will often find us at different beaches every weekend. At home, I enjoy baking cakes and spending my weekends watching my brothers play football.

I have worked in administration for the last 2 years; I joined Dora Rose this year. I am excited to work at Dora Rose and look forward to making memories with everyone here.

I live locally in Huntington with my husband, dog, and cats. I have 2 grown-up daughters and 1 beautiful grandson, who is my world.

I'm fairly new to Dora Rose Care Home, but I am loving it. It's so peaceful being right in the heart of Cannock Chase. The people are lovely.

I would say I like cooking, but my husband is a chef, so he does it all. I am a foodie.

I like watching movies with my husband, and love music of all kinds. My utmost love is Cornwall. We go there every year. One day I would like to move there.

I am proud to say that I have worked for West Midlands Ambulance Service for 7 years as a 999 Health Advisor, plus 2 years at NHS 111 Service, also as a Health Advisor. I have many years’ experience in Customer Service Roles.
