Brough Manor Care Home

Before Hayley joined the team in 2016, her passion was of a sporting nature. From the age of 10 years old, she played professional football for Hull City, where she progressed throughout the age groups. She was one of the youngest players at that time to break through into the ladies’ squad at the age of 14. Hayley played for the England team, however after a knee injury at the age of 17, unfortunately, her football career ended early.

Hayley then went on to graduate from university, and then completed her professional coaching awards to become a UEFA B certified coach and worked for Hull City for five years.

It was these hard-working and dedicated years that Hayley gained her leadership and teamwork skills.

After the birth of her beautiful daughter and then the unfortunate, sudden passing of her grandmother, her outlook on life changed very quickly.

Hayley decided that she would like to make a career within this sector, where she could hopefully make a difference and have a positive impact on other people’s day-to-day lives, who really need it most.

In her own words, “I have worked for the company for just short of a decade, where I progressed throughout a range of different roles. I consider myself a strong member of the team after working closely with the directors for several years.

This is where I gained most of my knowledge, which I utilise on a daily basis and project across the workforce, whilst maintaining a team culture throughout the homes”.

Debbie joined our family at Brough Manor in 2016 as a care assistant and then soon progressed to a senior carer role. Her dedication to succeed and face new challenges meant Debbie would be perfectly suited to the role of care home manager in 2024.

Debbie takes pride in her role and finds great reward in making sure our residents, staff and all who enter the home feel at ease and comfortable.

Debbie has always lived in Brough and enjoys chatting to residents and families about the local history. She is very passionate about delivering great people skills and really enjoys seeing people happy and content.

Before joining our team, Debbie worked in child care and customer services, and she believes this experience has given her the foundation to confidently progress to where she is today. Debbie is blessed to have two beautiful daughters and two lovely grandchildren, who all love to visit.

Debbie is very family-oriented and, in her own words, “considers Brough Manor to be part of my extended family, from residents to staff and with the directors, we are all one big family, and that is the image the home aspires to; I feel very privileged to be a part of such a supportive team.”

Adel has worked in the Health and Social Care Sector for many years, where she started off in a carer assistant role, working in the community, delivering care and support to residents in their own homes, which was incredibly rewarding

In 2012, Adel and her family were given an opportunity to move to Spain to renovate and set up a self-catering business in a small Spanish Village. Adel has two beautiful children who studied at a local Spanish school and integrated quickly, which made her very proud of them both.

They all learnt many new things, including speaking Spanish, meeting new people, looking after guests from many different countries and picking olives from their very own 128 Olive Trees, where they produced their own olive oil. One of her daughters performed in many Flamenco dancing shows, one of which was at the Alhambra Palace in Granada. This was an experience she will always remember and cherish.

In 2018, after many successful years, Adel and her family sold their Spanish home and moved back to England to pursue her long love of care and secured a care assistant role at Brough Manor. With her hard work and determination, Adel soon progressed to a senior carer role at The Old Vicarage, some 2 years later.

Over the next 5 years, Adel gained the necessary skills and utmost respect from her fellow work colleagues, which resulted in her being the perfect person to support our great team across all our care homes and she was appointed our group administration manager.

In her own words, “I have an amazing opportunity to work with a great team of directors and staff across all of our care homes and feel this is where I belong as part of our small family at East Riding Care Services.”

Steve has been working with our family business since 2014, and many of our staff, and in particular our residents, class him as their close friend.

Before he joined the team, he worked in public houses and social clubs, and for 15 years, he managed and owned two public houses and his own social club with over 400 members. Steve had 18 employees all working with him across the three venues, which also included a tattoo studio and professional qualified piercing salon.

Steve is an incredible people person, and with these many years of life and working experience, this certainly helps him connect with all our residents.

In his personal life, Steve enjoys many hours at his static caravan in Skegness and sails on his fishing boat in Bridlington. He has a strong farming background and lots of different hobbies, including a classic car and motorbikes, which gives him plenty to talk about with the residents from all walks of life.

In his own words, “With my many years of maintaining my public houses and social club, I am able to turn my hand to pretty much anything. When a resident wants a personal item repaired, I can usually help or know someone who can, which is very satisfying to see the smile on our residents faces. I really enjoy working as part of a genuine small family team and will be working with them all until my retirement”.
