Bridgewater Manor Care Centre

I qualified as a generally trained nurse in 1984 and have worked in multiple sectors over the years. I have always had a passion for supporting and caring for people and have grown and used my experience to progress to senior roles within the Health and Social Care Sector.

I love talking and listening to our residents and learning about their lives and ensuring as a Home Manager they receive the highest quality of care with respect and dignity.

I also enjoy supporting and nurturing all levels of staff to achieve the highest standards and their full potential whilst understanding the importance of work-life balance.
I enjoy spending time with my ever-extending family and love the outdoors walking, hiking and walking the dog.

I have worked in the care sector for over 17 years however I have been brought up around a care home environment since I was a child and it has always been a passion and something I have enjoyed. Before joining New Care I had worked at an EMI residential care setting for 16 years, I started in the kitchen when I was 15 then when I was able to I took on the role of care assistant eventually becoming deputy manager for 9 years of my time there, this is when I gained my Level 5 in management.

Joining Newcare was a massive leap for me however one that I do not regret in the slightest, it is a great company to work for, the home is beautiful and the team are fantastic. My passion is dementia care as I have personal experience caring for my nan and grandad through their dementia journey. I feel very strongly that we should support our special people to live their life well and they should be cared for at the highest standard, with dignity and respect at the forefront of everything we do. I like to go above and beyond for the residents, relatives and team creating a happy and loving environment for everyone to enjoy.

I have a background in care that spans 22 years, from starting off in a care home as a cleaner (to see if I thought I could do a care assistant role) to then working at the Royal Bolton Hospital in the surgical ward for a number of years. I have experience in domiciliary care and the last few years my background has been in training staff for work in a care setting. I recently came to work at Bridgewater Manor as a Team Leader on the floor that supports our residents who are in various stages of their journey with Dementia.

I am very proud to say that I am now the home trainer for Bridgewater Manor. It is such a rewarding role and New Care is a fabulous company to work for.
